Association between maternal fasting glucose levels throughout pregnancy and preschoolers' refractive errors

CONCLUSIONS: High level of fasting plasma glucose trajectories during pregnancy has been observed to be associated with 6-year-old children's refractive error, hypermetropia and astigmatism. The first and the second trimesters may be critical periods for the effects of maternal blood glucose on children's vision. The long-term effect of maternal glucose metabolism on children's visual development deserves further study.PMID:38625056 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae247
