Diabetes & Pregnancy: Role of Genetics and Family History - November 6, 2014

CDC information: November is Diabetes Awareness Month. How much do you know about diabetes during pregnancy? Check your knowledge

From the National Diabetes Education Program: Family Health History and Diabetes- If you are a woman who had gestational diabetes during pregnancy, you are at increased risk for developing diabetes, and the child of that pregnancy is at increased risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes

From Medline & NLM Reference: You are at greater risk for gestational diabetes if you have a family history of diabetes

Did you know? 264 genes have been reported in relation to risk and outcomes of gestational diabetes, including 2 genomewide association studies. To find out more, visit the HuGE Navigator
