This is a long-term observational study that tracks pregnant women and their blood sugar health. Researchers want to understand how blood sugar problems (ranging from mild to gestational diabetes) develop after pregnancy and may lead to type 2 diabetes or heart disease later in life. By following women over many years, the study aims to learn more about the early warning signs and natural progression of these conditions.
Many women develop blood sugar problems during pregnancy, and some go on to develop type 2 diabetes or heart disease afterward. This study exists to understand how and why these conditions develop over time, which could help doctors identify and help at-risk women earlier.

You would be enrolled around your second trimester of pregnancy and then followed with regular blood tests and health assessments at scheduled intervals after delivery. Over the years following your pregnancy, you'll visit the clinic periodically for blood work and other cardiometabolic tests (measuring heart and metabolic health) to track how your body's ability to handle blood sugar changes over time. The study aims to understand the natural progression of blood sugar problems in women like you.
