Conclusions
Women with FPG levels above 86 mg/dl during the 1st trimester are at an elevated risk of developing T2DM, at a level of risk that is at least comparable to that of women with GDM. Moreover, 1st-trimester FPG may hold particular significance as a predictor for T2DM, especially in women without obesity. For these women, it may be beneficial to consider postpartum lifestyle interventions and annual T2DM screening to help mitigate their risk.Acknowledgments:
