Diabetes during pregnancy linked to higher risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in children Children born to women who had diabetes during pregnancy may have an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, according to international research which pooled together data from previous studies. The analysis found that children of mothers with diabetes in pregnancy had a 25% increased risk of autism spectrum disorder, a 30% increased risk of ADHD, a 32% increased risk of intellectual disability, and a 28% increased risk of having any neurodevelopmental disorder. However, authors urge caution as there is currently little evidence of a causal link.
