5.4.1 Demographic characteristics of women with diabetes<br />

It can be seen that the non-European ethnicities have the highest rates of GDM. We<br />

would expect our Polynesian women to have the highest rates of GDM overall, as they<br />

have the highest rates of type 2 diabetes. It is not clear whether Polynesian women are<br />

less likely to perform testing for GDM or whether they have more false negative results.<br />

We want to look at this issue in more detail.<br />
