Brief Summary: This observational study showed that pregnancy increases the risk of hyperfiltration in women with youth-onset T2D, but not other micro or macrovascular complications.Comment: This study examined whether pregnancy exacerbates health outcomes in young women with T2D, particularly by testing for changes in the occurrence of microvascular and macrovascular complications.
