OBJECTIVE -To study the incidence of diabetes among women with previous diet-treated gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in the light of the general increasing incidence of overweight and diabetes and to identify risk factors for the development of diabetes. , and IGT postpartum were identified as independent predictors of diabetes by multiple logistic regression analyses. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSCONCLUSIONS -The incidence of diabetes among Danish women with previous diettreated GDM was very high and had more than doubled over a 10-year period. This seems to be due to a substantial increase in BMI in women with GDM.

Treatment with metformin during pregnancy was associated with increased prevalence of pre-eclampsia and a high perinatal mortality.
