WASHINGTON Machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, can predict which women are at high risk of developing gestational diabetes and lead to earlier intervention, according to a new study published in the Endocrine Society s
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
Gestational diabetes is a common complication during pregnancy that affects up to 15 percent of pregnant women. High blood sugar in the mother can be dangerous for the baby and lead to complications like stillbirth and premature delivery. Most women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes during the second trimester, but some women are at high risk and could benefit from earlier intervention.

Dec. 22 (UPI) Artificial intelligence can effectively identify women at high risk for gestational diabetes during the first trimester, allowing treatment to begin at an earlier stage of the disease, according to a study published Tuesday by the Endocrine Society s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
Researchers in China used machine learning, a form of AI, to develop a model that can predict whether women will develop the disease about 80% of the time.

WASHINGTON Drinks with sucrose compared to glucose may cause young adults to produce lower levels of appetite-regulating hormones, according to a new study published in the Endocrine Society s
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
Too much sugar consumption is a contributing factor for obesity. Sucrose, or table sugar, is composed of equal parts glucose and fructose and is often added to processed foods like soda, candy, cereal and canned foods. Glucose can be found in foods like honey and dried fruits. Our study found that when young adults consumed drinks containing sucrose, they produced lower levels of appetite-regulating hormones than when they consumed drinks containing glucose (the main type of sugar that circulates in the bloodstream), said study author Kathleen Page, M.D., of the USC Keck School of Medicine in Los Angeles, Calif. This study is the first to show how individual characteristics, including body weight, sex and insulin sensitivity,
