    The study examined the impact of maternal fasting plasma glucose (mFPG) levels in early gestation on developmental delays in children at age two.

  • 2

    A total of 1541 mother-child pairs were analyzed, with developmental delays assessed using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire.

  • 3

    15.1% of children in the study exhibited developmental delays, but mFPG levels as a continuous variable did not correlate with increased risk.

  • 4

    mFPG levels ≤70 mg/dL were associated with developmental delays across five domains compared to levels 71 to 94 mg/dL.

  • 5

    Overall, early gestational mFPG levels were not linked to an increased risk of developmental delays in two-year-old children.
