A member asked:
Have i increased the chances my baby having diabetes if i've developed it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.

Please settle a debate. Which came first; big babies or diabetes? My understanding was that having large babies was a sign of blood glucose issues.
