Gestational and Link in Children
Greetings DC'ers! Haven't been around lately to enjoy all the lovely discussions and new friends, but now with a full time job and two young boys, and my business things tend to get hectic.
But I wanted to ask if anyone has any information or experience with having gestational diabetes and a link if any to the child having a pre-disposition to having type 2 diabetes.
My pediatrician wasn't too sure and sounded like he wasn't really comfortable saying either way and I'd just like to know what you all have heard or experienced.
While I look for any 'tell tale' signs, it's hard because I don't want to be that paranoia parent, but I don't want to ignore the obvious either.
Any suggestions or articles on this? Thanks bunches* :)

I don't know the answer to the question, but I had posted an article that elluded to weight issues in diabetic pregnancies. Read more here:http://www.diabeticconnect.com/news-articles/1164-babies-getting-fatter-gestational-diabetes-up
I don't think that is exactly what you were asking, but it might lead to something
