In a new study to be presented today at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine's (SMFM) annual meeting, The Pregnancy Meeting—and published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology—researchers will unveil findings that suggest pregnant people who do not have diabetes but deliver a large-for-gestational age baby are at an increased risk of developing prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes 10-14 years later.
Studies show that diabetes in pregnancy—also known as gestational diabetes—puts a pregnant person at greater risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life. Gestational diabetes is also a common cause of babies who are large-for-gestational age (LGA). LGA is defined as infants who weigh more than 90 percent of all babies of the same gestational age. LGA babies are more likely to be admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit and develop health complications later in life, including obesity and Type 2 diabetes themselves.
What has not been studied, until now, is whether someone who does not have gestational diabetes but gives birth to an LGA baby is also at risk of developing diabetes later in life.

People?
So,we should kill it?
Only XX chromosome women can become pregnant.
A pregnant person who delivers a large baby is no longer pregnant - but is still a woman.
Pregnant people, as opposed to pregnant dogs, horses, or alligators.
Yeah, pretty bizarre headline writing there.
From personal experience, delivery via penile urethra is painful...
All the medical websites have climbed on the transgender stuff. Orwellian times we live in.
PS - Eating a high carb diet results in bigger infants. This is pretty well known among animals. Bigger is not better when it comes to size at birth.
Or like others have pointed out, WOMEN.
“Studies” are like giant farts. The quickly appear, make a large noise and then they’re gone. The leave a big stink for a while and that’s about all.
People? The war on women continues.
Thanks for my first laugh of the day.
Yeah. But we are paying for this useless navel gazing.
I was taught the connection with large babies and diabetes long time ago. Did the studies authors not know about the connection?
Pretty soon there will be a study implying that xy chromosome is associated with larger body frames and higher weight in “people”
LOL, on the “pregnant people” - claim only women can get pregnant and expect to be destroyed.
I delivered a 9 lb. baby (I am small) - and Thank God haven’t developed diabetes (”baby” is now 29 years old).
My neighbor was close to developing diabetes during her pregnancy, the doctor told her she would most likely develop it in 10 years - took three months before she got full-on diabetes, needing injections, etc. For her, it’s been 25 years and the diabetes is still raging - she visited her doctor a few months ago because she was feeling tired and the doctor told her her body was breaking down after 25 years of having diabetes. Now she has diabetes and depression.
Maybe she needs a different doctor? I was lucky...my baby was only 6lb 5oz
Stupid media. Indulging the fantasies of mentally imbalanced men who desire to be women and have babies by referencing “pregnant people.”
My first thought as well.
