Each additional optimal modifiable factor among women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) significantly contributes to a reduction in type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk, suggests a recent study. These associations are also present among individuals who are overweight/obese or are at greater genetic susceptibility to T2D.
