If a woman develops diabetes only while pregnant having it go away after giving birth what are the chances of type one diabetes in the child?

Gestational diabetes is not hereditary in that sense. If you have a daughter then she would have a slightly increased chance of developing gestational diabetes when she has a baby. Answer I developed gestational diabetes while pregnant w/ my now 15 yr old son.It went into" hiding" only to return again in my 2nd pregnancy with my now 11yr old son.Then again it went so called "AWAY" only to return a year after his birth. I have now been a type 1 diabetic for 11yrs...... gestational diabetes is a" warning sign" that within the next 10 yrs you are likely to become a diabetic.Great attention must be taken to your diet NOW if you want to try and prevent yourself from becoming permanently diabetic in the future. As for your daughter becoming a diabetic, they claim that if one or more immediate parents have diabetes your risk factor is high. I have both my son's Hemoglobin A1C and fasting blood sugar levels checked routinely, yearly through their blood work as a precaution hope this helps.........


Why is blood sugar an important test?

This is because you can get gestational diabetes while pregnant. This is where you develop diabetes(i presume it's due to hormones), and if not taken care of, it can lead to the baby being diabetic, where the pancreas doesn't produce any/enough insulin to control the amount of sugar in the blood. This can lead to ketones, which are produced by the body, and basically turn your blood pH weird. I don't know if it's the same with gestational diabetes, but if you're diabetic you're supposed to keep your blood sugar level under 5 for the entire duration of the pregnancy. I'm diabetic, insulin controlled and i can promse you it's not fun.


What sugars can you eat if you have gestational diabetes?
