Gestational Diabetes May Become More Frequent Diagnosis

Hmmmm. Now why would that be?
Three articles published in 2 obstetrics journals challenge the wisdom of immediately lowering the threshold for diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), warning that evidence for benefit is inadequate and could result in more labor induction, more cesarean deliveries, and a surge in new patients who may overwhelm an already overburdened primary healthcare system...

...Further, although GDM is related to childhood obesity, the stronger relationship is with maternal obesity.
Fat people.

And their diseases of choice.
