Gestational diabetes (GDM) is associated with long term risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Offspring of mothers with GDM also have elevated cardiometabolic risk in their lifetime. This article reviews risk factors that may predict progression to Type 2 or Type 1 diabetes after history of GDM, recurrence risk of GDM in a future pregnancy and discusses what evidence is available for risk mitigation in reducing long term adverse health outcomes in both mothers with GDM and their children.
