The association between GDM at index pregnancy and
subsequent hyperglycemia analyzed by linear regression
analysis at the follow-up study is shown in Table 3. A
strong association between GDM and fasting plasma
glucose, 2hPG as well as glucose AUC was detected (P <
0.001 for all) which was attenuated after adjustment for
age, BMI, follow-up time, parity, as well as smoking and
physical activity. The association was further attenuated
after adjustment for peripheral insulin sensitivity (Matsuda
ISI) and attenuated or abolished after adjustment for insulin secretion (DI30).
