But if you then develop type-2 later in your life, your children are at high risk. Because having a family history of diabetes is a diabetes risk factor.
Women who have had GDM should take a screening test for diabetes (prediabetes test) earlier than others. Your doctor may ask you to take the test before the age of 45 – according the American Diabetes Association.
According to WebMD – women with a personal history of GDM have about 60 percent increased risk of type-2. Sticking to healthy lifestyles (such as eating right for diabetes (a well balanced diet), regular exercise, and maintaining your healthy weight) would help a lot to reduce your risk!
