First, the longitudinal design (with two assessments in the 1st year postdelivery) reveals that deterioration of β-cell function is a very early event in women with GDM and GIGT, taking place within the 1st year postpartum.
For a direct comparison of TSS/QI ratio in the semester with one assessment and the semester with two assessments see Figure 3. TSS/QI and QI appeared as inversely related, and TSS/QI tended to be higher in participants with 2 assessments than in those with 1 assessment, given the same QI.
This study, conducted in the northern Netherlands, was carried out in a prospective design with four assessment points (one pre-morbid and three post-morbid assessments) involving semi-structured interviews and self-report questionnaires.
