Type 2 Diabetes - Is Exposure to Flame-Retardant Chemicals During Pregnancy a Problem?

[willamprincy]

After being diagnosed with Gestational Gluco Type diabetes or diabetes of pregnancy, women have 3 to 7 times the risk of developing full-blown Type 2 diabetes within the following 7 to 10 years. Predicting the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes could be helpful in knowing which women to watch closely post delivery.

In June of 2018, the medical journal Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice reported workers at Stellenbosch University and Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, found a link between HbA1c levels in women with Gestational diabetes and their risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. The investigators compared HbA1c levels in 78 women diagnosed with Gestational diabetes four weeks before delivering their infant. Six to twelve weeks later the women who had HbA1c levels of 6.2 percent and 6.5 percent four weeks before delivery developed Type 2 diabetes more often than the women who had recorded lower levels.
