Elevated fasting plasma glucose, either alone or combined with post-load glucose elevation is associated with worse outcomes than isolated post-load glucose elevation, possibly due to higher degrees of insulin resistance. Future work is needed to better understand these differences, and explore whether tailored treatment of GDM can improve neonatal outcomes.
