A new study shows that if pregnant women smoke during pregnancy, it will increase the risk of developing gestational diabetes.
Previous studies have shown that smoking is related to the occurrence of type 2 diabetes. However, a research report published in the recent issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology states that the relationship between smoking and gestational diabetes remains unclear.
Researchers from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development analyzed the data of 4,500 pregnant women. The study found that pregnant women who are currently smoking have the highest average blood glucose levels, while women who have never smoked or quit smoking during pregnancy and before pregnancy have the lowest blood glucose levels. The study also found that pregnant women who smoke have the highest probability of developing gestational diabetes (4.4%), while pregnant women who have never smoked have the lowest probability of developing gestational diabetes (1.8%). Women who quit smoking before pregnancy and during pregnancy have probabilities between the highest and lowest, at 1.9% and 2.5%, respectively.
