Khan S, et al. – A population–based cohort study was conducted to determine the frequency of adverse clinical outcomes, the rates of healthcare utilization, and the incidence of post–partum Type 2 diabetes in refugees with gestational diabetes (GDM), compared with other immigrants and non–immigrants. In context of the findings, despite different circumstances leading to migration, refugees have a similar ‘healthy immigrant effect’ to other immigrants, with respect to adverse GDM outcomes. Nevertheless, newborns of refugees were less likely to have well–baby care, and refugee women were also at especially high risk of developing diabetes post–partum. These are both important public health issues.
