Incretin Effect in Women with Former Gestational Diabetes within a Short Period after Delivery

Table 1

Main characteristics and area under the concentration curve (AUC) of glucose and C-peptide, in the two tests, for women with former gestational diabetes (fGDM) and women who had normal pregnancy (CNT).
