Abstract

We determined whether achieving glycemic control during pregnancy was associated with fewer postpartum depressive symptoms among individuals with pregestational diabetes. We found achievement of pregnancy glycemic targets was not associated with a lower risk of postpartum depressive symptoms in a population with a high frequency of pre-existing psychiatric morbidity.
