The increasing incidence of childhood diabetes

For the first time, the median age of women giving birth is now 30 in the US, the highest on record.

Doctors warn of serious consequences.

Risk factors for GDM include maternal age
over 23 and obesity (Most people gain weight as they age). Hispanics and other minorities have higher odds of GDM. The increasing age of primiparity is contributing to the rising prevalence of diabetes. I wonder what the numbers will look like in 20 years.
We are on our road to becoming a Type 2 civilization.
Fermi's Paradox is solved!

In eastern Europe the prevalence of GDM is 31.5%. One has to wonder how bad things are going to get here in the US.

This is very serious stuff. Only medical science can clean up this feminist mess.
Republicans who believe in traditional families are very stupid for not bringing this up.

Other consequences include Type 1 and possibly childhood cancer.

GDM is more concerning because it's very common.

Gestational diabetes mellitus. It's basically a catch-all term for elevated glucose levels during pregnancy.
Apparently, the most common medical complication of pregnancy is the fault of feminists. Surprised the fault passed by Mexicans.

1) Why will this mostly hurt minorities?
2) Why Chinese, though?
3) If you married a girl (totally not a Mexican girl, though), at what age do you believe would be optimal for her to give birth?

Minorities already have a higher chance of GDM. A Black or hispanic woman waiting to have babies after age 30 will only increase her odds even more of getting GDM.

The Chinese study mentions another study, "A study in Finland also suggested that primiparity should be encouraged at a younger age".
What are the risk factors?

Or women having babies after age 30 when they are less likely to be physically active and more likely to be overweight. GDM is very common, so let's not take these doctors seriously.

I'm just making stuff up. Feminism has nothing to do with the increasing prevalence of Type 1 and Type 2.

"Long-term risks to the infant include obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, and metabolic syndrome. Half of women with gestational diabetes may later develop type 2 diabetes"

Great googely-moogely dude. Something being common doesn't mean it should be ignored. If anything, a high prevalence would be increased reason to take it seriously. You take some really strange positions.
Is the increased median age of first pregnancy medically significant when overlaid with historical mean age for final pregnancy, while controlling for decreased total pregnancies, and births?
Is this meant to argue against it being the most common medical complication of pregnancy, or in support my statement?
Incidentally, since you decided to share that source, what do you make of the 5th bullet point on page 51 of that case study, and the lab analysis?
