A member asked:
Does high birth weight pregnancy increase the risk for diabetes later in life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES!: Birth weight over 4 kilos or 9 lb increases the likelihood that the mother will develop overt diabetes outside of pregnancy. Diet and exercise to decrease your weight for height can avert this dire complication.
