Birth control methods are something thousands of women rely on.
But a new report suggests that there are more than one ways different birth control methods may be associated with higher risk of developing gestational diabetes. It was found those who were on hormonal birth control had increased their risk of gestational diabetes by 40 percent.
This relationship between Gestational Diabetes Mellitus or GDM and hormonal contraceptives was established through analysing data from 2,741 pregnancies. The data was collected for two surveys in 2007 and 2008 by the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS).
