Summary
This study follows 600 Indigenous families in Manitoba to understand how maternal health, genetics, and early-life environment contribute to obesity and type 2 diabetes in children. Pregnant women with type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, or no diabetes are enrolled, and their children are tracked through adolescence. The goal is to identify factors that can be targeted to prevent youth-onset type 2 diabetes.
