Preeclampsia was associated with a higher risk of diabetes adjusting for age, primigravidity, and gestational diabetes (hazard ratio, HR 1.82, 95%CI 1.26, 2.62) and in women without gestational diabetes (n = 30,109; HR 1.86, 95%CI 1.22, 2.84).

Great. Even if you didn't get GD, you're at almost double the risk of developing diabetes. In fact, there's hardly any difference between the two groups.

Did they control for BMI? Did they speculate on the correlation?
I'm just not pleased to hear this and want an alternative explanation! ;-b |

| I had GD both pregnancies, PE both times. The first time (3 y ago) my blood glucoses went back to normal after delivery. This time, not so lucky. I have Type 2 DM now but still diet controlled (I am amazed how few carbs one should really be eating!) My BMI is 23, I am very active and have never been overweight. No one in my family has or had DM on either side. So I believe I am the perfect case of this phenomenon :o) Not happy about it but I can manage it. |

| So on the flip side, diabetes makes you more prone to preeclampsia (I already had (have) it)? |

Yes, diabetes is one of the known risk factors for PE. Elevated blood glucose causes endothelial damage(lining of the blood vessels)which is why diabetics are prone to micro and macro-vascular damage. The maternal manifestation of preeclampsia is widespread endothelial derangement so I suppose anything that predisposes you to this damage can only work hand in hand to make things worse on both ends :o(
But on a positive note I know someone who is a very, very "brittle" diabetic who delivered a healthy baby at age 42 with nary a sign of PE... |

I am not sure there is any way to know that everything resolves entirely at the cellular level...
It's a chicken and egg situation... did the preeclampsia do something to predispose us further or would we have just developed HD and DM anyway. With GD there is a hyperinsulinemia along with insulin resistance and we know that pancreatic beta cells can "burn out" eventually leading to Type 2 DM. So on that end I am not surprised that I have ended up here. Interestingly, everyone in my family has HD but no one has ever developed PE or diabetes on either side. So bad luck, coupled with bad genes, add preeclampsia and stir :o) |
