Attempts at Weight Loss in US Women With and Without a History of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

摘要

Background and ObjectiveGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Relatively modest weight loss can delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. The objective of this study was to determine, using a nationally representative survey, if among women without diabetes, those with a history of GDM (hGDM) were more likely than those without hGDM to be currently attempting weight loss.
