Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and hypothyroidism during gestation (HG) are the most common gestational endocrinopathies and seem to be associated. We therefore explored in women with GDM whether the presence of HG is associated with a different metabolic profile.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We included 1,290 pregnant women with GDM [International Association of the Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Group (IADPSG)\/World Health Organization (WHO) criteria] and no history of hypothyroidism prior to pregnancy who had a measure of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and anti-thyroperoxidase antibodies during their hospital stay after GDM diagnosis. Patients with thyrotoxicosis and previous bariatric surgery were excluded. We evaluated concomitant blood pressure, fasting glycemia, insulinemia [with calculation of homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index], glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and lipid profile according to the presence of HG (American Thyroid Association 2017 definition: TSH \u2265 4 mUI\/L).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean (\u00b1 standard deviation) age was 33 \u00b1 5 years, the mean body mass index was 27 \u00b1 5 kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, and 117 women (9%) displayed HG.
