Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between maternal gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and neurodevelopmental outcomes in children, specifically how rising glucose levels during pregnancy may impact development.
- Involving 1,036 mother-child pairs, the research measures maternal glucose levels through oral-glucose-tolerance tests and assesses children's development at 12 months using standardized questionnaires.
- Results indicate that higher maternal glucose levels are linked to increased risks of communication and social development failures in children, particularly more pronounced in boys, suggesting even low glucose levels during pregnancy can negatively affect neurodevelopment.
