Osteocalcin, under-carboxylated osteocalcin and osteopontin are not associated with gestational diabetes mellitus but are inversely associated with leptin in non-diabetic women

Conclusion GDM is not associated with OC, ucOC, OPN, and leptin and does not correlate with insulin resistance. At postpartum, women who develop diabetes have lower osteocalcin concentrations. Leptin correlates with insulin resistance and bone biomarkers in non-diabetic women.
