The Tukey-Kramer test was used for post hoc pairwise comparisons between racial groups. Self-reported gestational diabetes mellitus is among all women participants whether they were pregnant or not. Racial and ethnic categories follow NIH guidelines. Hispanic refers to ethnicity and includes any race. IFG defined as FPG 100–125 mg/dL (5.6–6.9 mmol/L). IGT defined as 2hPG after a 75-g glucose load 140–199 mg/dL (7.8–11.0 mmol/L). iA1c defined as HbA1c 5.7–6.4% (39–47 mmol/mol).
