Gestational Diabetes Poses Substantial Cognitive Dysfunction Risks for Both Mothers and Offspring

Gestational diabetes poses substantial cognitive dysfunction risks for both mothers and offspring

A new synthesis of global evidence finds that experiencing gestational diabetes during pregnancy is linked with a decline in intellectual function among mothers, and may increase the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.

Fast-growing form of diabetes linked to increased risk of ADHD, autism

An Australian university study has found that gestational diabetes can be linked to ADHD and autism in children.The research, a meta-analysis of 48 global studies encompassing over 9 million pregnancies, indicates a significant correlation between the condition and neurodevelopmental disorders.The study revealed that children exposed to gestational diabetes in utero face a 36 per cent increased risk of developing ADHD and a 56 per cent higher ri…

Gestational Diabetes Linked with Child Neurodiversity

Children are at far greater risk of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or being on the autism spectrum if they are born to mothers who had gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), an analysis of over nine million pregnancies reveals. The study, presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, suggests this pregnancy complication may have neurotoxic effects on brain develo…

Gestational Diabetes Tied to Cognitive Risks in Mothers & Kids

New study links gestational diabetes to maternal cognitive decline and elevated child risks for ADHD, autism, and delays, based on millions of pregnancies.
