of diabetes, it is marked by the body's inability to properly use the blood sugar-regulating hormone insulin. For most women, the condition goes away after giving birth.

However, Moore's team points out, for some women gestational diabetes signals an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. For others, it may be precursor to type 1 diabetes, a form of the disease caused by an abnormal immune system attack on the body's insulin-producing cells. The researchers speculate that some women with gestational diabetes may have underlying immune system dysfunction or other anomalies that could affect fetal development. They call for more research into the possibility.
