Have i increased the chances my baby having diabetes if i've developed it?

You didn't do it: You haven't done anything to your baby, but if you've developed diabetes due to weight gain and family history -- your baby will have the same genetic predisposition. Educate them to remain lean, eat healthy and exercise daily to decrease their risk. You didn't do anything to baby, the genetic predisposition was built into you since before birth.
