Differential effects of type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes on maternal and cord blood adipokines and newborn weight
In this study, exposure to type 2 diabetes, but not gestational diabetes, impacted cord blood levels of glucose, insulin and leptin and birthweight. Collectively, these factors may contribute to the greater impact of pregestational type 2 diabetes exposure on offspring health relative to gestational diabetes.
