In the pancreas, activation stimulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion, meaning insulin is released only when blood glucose levels are elevated, which reduces the risk of hypoglycemia compared to some other diabetes medications
In the first year following diagnosis, we found increased cumulative incidence risk ratios in a number of outcomes including: - Any mental, behavioural, or neurodevelopmental disorder 1.96 (1.93 - 1.99) - Postpartum depression 2.70 (2.61 - 2.79) - Eating disorders 2.06 (1.85 - 2.89) - PTSD 1.77 (1.69 - 1.86) We also saw significantly increased risk in rare but serious outcomes such as: - Wernicke's encephalopathy 2.39 (1.25 - 4.56) - Puerperal psychosis 1.80 (1.48 - 2.20) Interestingly, cases of hyperemesis gravidarum with metabolic disturbance displayed a significantly lower risk of any depression and postpartum depression compared with those without metabolic disturbance
