Of 885 obese and normal-weight pregnancies prospectively enrolled after GDM testing according to the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria, 462 GDM-negative mothers and their offspring were investigated. We assessed associations of maternal Hb A1c at delivery with large-for-gestational-age (LGA) birth weights, cord-blood C-peptide, and biomarkers of glucose metabolism and inflammation in obese mothers followed for 2.9 years (median) postpartum (n = 42).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Cumulative distribution analysis in GDM-negative normal-weight women (n = 155) revealed that 12% had Hb A1c \u22655.7% at delivery (high Hb A1c). Among obese GDM-negative women (n = 307), 31.9% (95% CI, 26.7%\u201337.4%) equaled or exceeded this cutoff. In obese GDM-negative women with Hb A1c \u22655.7% (n = 98) vs &amp;lt;5.7% (n = 209) at delivery, newborns were more likely to be born LGA [adjusted odds ratio 3.56 (95% CI, 1.64\u20138.02)], and mean cordblood serum C-peptide was increased by 0.09 ng\/mL (95% CI, 0.01\u20130.17 ng\/mL). In the mothers at follow-up, mean postpartum Hb A1c, fasting glucose, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and fibrinogen concentrations were higher by 0.3% (95% CI, 0.1%\u20130.5%), 6.0 mg\/dL (95% CI, 2.4\u20139.5 mg\/dL), 6.8 mg\/L (95% CI, 1.4\u201312.3 mg\/L), and 74.9 mg\/dL (95% CI, 13.6\u2013136.2 mg\/dL), respectively.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Increased Hb A1c in obese GDM-negative women at delivery indicates gestational dysglycemia, potentially conferring offspring and long-term maternal health risks.
