Professor Yu Yongfu said that from a public health point of view, continuous monitoring of women with a history of gestational diabetes, especially those with obesity before pregnancy or a history of cardiovascular disease in their mothers, is of great significance for taking effective measures to reduce cardiovascular risk

It is reported that many studies have shown that a history of gestational diabetes can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease in women in later life
According to reports, this large-sample cohort study uses the entire cohort and siblings to analyze and explore the relationship between gestational diabetes and overall and specific cardiovascular disease risks, and to assess whether these associations are due to pre-pregnancy obesity or maternal cardiovascular disease History changes
The results of the study found that patients with gestational diabetes are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes
Studies have also observed that gestational diabetes increases the risk of certain cardiovascular diseases, including a 65% increase in the risk of stroke, and a more than two-fold increase in the risk of myocardial infarction, heart failure, and peripheral arterial disease
