In summary, we found that offspring of GDM mothers
diagnosed with diabetes during pregnancy or 1–5 years after
delivery are associated with an increased risk of childhood
overweight or weight gain compared with those of GDM
mothers with IGT during pregnancy or with normal glucose
after delivery. These findings suggest that maternal glucose
status during pregnancy in GDM women and diabetes
diagnoses in GDM mothers after delivery might lead to
their children being overweight. More studies are needed to
confirm our finding because we did not include a non-GDM
control group.
