Serum BA homeostasis in late gestation depends on body mass index and GDM in ethnicity-specific ways. This suggests ethnicity-specific aetiologies may contribute to metabolic risk in European and South Asian women, with the relationship between BAs and insulin resistance of greater importance in European women. Further studies into ethnicity-specific precision medicine for GDM are required.
