Long-term health outcomes of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus and their children in Alberta
EF 2011-12
Résumé
Gestational diabetes mellitus is glucose intolerance first recognized during pregnancy, typically in the second or third trimester. It is a major risk factor for the subsequent development of type 2 diabetes, not only for the mother but also for the child. Based on our current knowledge of the role of metabolic abnormalities related to insulin resistance in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD), it is likely that women with GDM are also at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular complications later in life. The prognostic importance of GDM for the onset of diabetes and CHD offers a unique opportunity to develop strategies to defer or prevent the onset of these chronic diseases in a population that is most at risk.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus is glucose intolerance first recognized during pregnancy, typically in the second or third trimester. It is a major risk factor for the subsequent development of type 2 diabetes, not only for the mother but also for the child. Based on our current knowledge of the role of metabolic abnormalities related to insulin resistance in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD), it is likely that women with GDM are also at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular complications later in life. The prognostic importance of GDM for the onset of diabetes and CHD offers a unique opportunity to develop strategies to defer or prevent the onset of these chronic diseases in a population that is most at risk.
