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* :)
