The research showed that 2-year-old children whose mothers had been diagnosed with gestational diabetes exhibited poorer language skills compared to children whose mothers had not been diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

Dietary intake during pregnancy was assessed with diet quality index and fish consumption questionnaires.
