Partial spearman correlations between baseline metabolic traits and C-peptide. HbA1c glycosylated hemoglobin, HDL-C high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HOMA-IR homoeostatic model assessment‐insulin resistance, hs-CRP high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TG triglycerides, WHR waist–hip ratio. P values were calculated using partial spearman regression with adjustment for maternal age, gestational age, education, parity, smoking status, alcohol consumption, physical activity, pre-pregnancy BMI, family history of diabetes, history of GDM, and GDM status. There were positive correlations of C-peptide with fasting insulin, homeostatic model of insulin resistance, leptin, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, glycosylated hemoglobin, waist–hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and negative correlations with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and adiponectin, demonstrating an adverse metabolic profile associated with C-peptide
