GLUT1 has been shown to be upregulated in the placental tissue of mothers with both pregestational and gestational diabetes, even when the mother's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_management#Glycemic_control glycemic control] is considered good. It is hypothesized that fetal hyperglycemia due to increased glucose transporter expression may increase the risk of offspring developing type I ''or'' type II diabetes.<ref>PMID:10022440</ref> | GLUT1 has been shown to be upregulated in the placental tissue of mothers with both pregestational and gestational diabetes, even when the mother's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_management#Glycemic_control glycemic control] is considered good.

GLUT1 has been found to be upregulated in retinal tissue of diabetic mice. Studies on mice show that GLUT1 overexpression plays a key role in development of diabetic retinopathy.<ref>PMID:33622781</ref> While it has been proven that hyperglycemia causes diabetic retinopathy in humans, at this point more research is necessary to determine if GLUT1 plays a direct role in diabetic retinopathy. | GLUT1 has been found to be upregulated in retinal tissue of diabetic mice.
