An oral glucose tolerance test in pregnancy and its association with future cardiovascular diseases

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims/hypothesis Gestational diabetes and abnormal 100‐g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results in pregnancy are associated with type 2 diabetes, but their relationship with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is less clear. We evaluated the risk of CVD according to the number of abnormal OGTT values during pregnancy.
