Consequences after previous gestational diabetes

The prevalence of diabetes and overweight is increasing worldwide and hence strategies are needed to stop this increase. Women with prior gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are obvious target for this intervention as they have already been indentified at their young age as high-risk group. In Our study group the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome was 42, 2% in the previous GDM. Necessity for this group is to offer regular control of glucose metabolism, examination of lipid profile and plan how to modify and sustain their lifestyle to lower insulin resistance - central obesity, dyslipidemia and hypertension. These measures can reduce cardiovascular morbidity and the risk of progressing to overt diabetes.
