Researchers at Copenhagen University Hospital in Denmark are relating miscarriage to a higher risk of type 2 diabetes. This indicated that the higher risk for type 2 diabetes in women with pregnancy losses cannot be explained by obesity alone.”It now seems that women who suffer multiple miscarriages are at even greater risk of developing diabetes. The researchers found that women who experience one miscarriage are 18% more likely to develop type 2 diabetes compared with women who have never lost a baby. Two miscarriages were linked to a 38% higher risk, and three miscarriages increased the chances by 71%. Dr Egerup said: “Perhaps the same genetic background (for miscarriage and diabetes) could predispose to an increased risk for both.
