[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 313702, member: 12578"] Most of the info you read suggests that you are likely to develop T2 after gestational diabetes but on forums I've come across what seems to be a lot of women who developed T1. (Forums though are probably unrepresentative ; women in this position may have gone onto forums because they hadn't expected to get T1 and were looking for answers) There's a Finnish study that followed a group of women with GD for about 6 years after their pregnancy. They also tested them for the relevant antibodies at the time of their pregnancy. "Pregnancy seems to identify women who are at risk of developing diabetes later in life. About 10% of Finnish women with GDM will develop diabetes over the next 6 years; nearly half of them develop type 1 diabetes and the other half type 2 diabetes. Age < or =30 years, the need for insulin treatment during pregnancy, and positivity for ICAs and GADAs confer a high risk of subsequent progression to type 1 diabetes in women affected by GDM."
