26 In a study by Boghossian et al., they found an increased risk of late‐onset neonatal sepsis, but the risk of EONS did not reach statistical significance, possibly due to a low number of confirmed EONS. 27 Diabetes is known to increase the risk for infections in the general population, such as lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin and mucous membrane infections, 28 and patients with diabetes are at increased risk of serious infection. 29 Gestational diabetes has been linked to dysregulated maternal immunity, increased placental macrophages and neutrophils, and altered maternal fecal and vaginal microbiome compositions.
