27. I had diabetes during my last pregnancy. Am I at risk of diabetes in the future?
Yes, you are at high risk both of having type 2 diabetes in the future and of having diabetes again with your next pregnancy. The reason for this is that women destined to get type 2 diabetes in middle age or beyond
tend to be the same women who will develop diabetes in pregnancy.
Therefore, the presence of diabetes in pregnancy is an indicator of future risk for type 2 diabetes.
