Overview

Most women with GDM will return to their pre-pregnancy glycemic status after delivery, but there is an increased chance of developing overt diabetes or prediabetes during the next 5 years. Recurrent GDM is another subject that physicians should be aware of.

Natural History

  • If GDM is left untreated, serious fetal complications can develop during pregnancy, and progression to overt diabetes can also occur in the long term.

Prognosis

  • Most of women with GDM return to their pre pregnancy glycemic status after delivery.
  • Women diagnosed with gestational diabetes have an increased risk of developing overt diabetes mellitus in the future. Women requiring insulin to manage gestational diabetes have a 50% risk of developing diabetes within the next five years.[1]
  • One-third to two-thirds of women will re-experience GDM in subsequent pregnancies.[2][3]
  • Risk factors for the recurrence of GDM include older age, multiparity, higher maternal weight in the index pregnancy, and weight gain between pregnancies.[4][3]
