A study indicates that individuals who deliver large-for-gestational age (LGA) babies, even without having gestational diabetes, are more likely to develop prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes within 10-14 years post-delivery. This risk persists even after accounting for other common risk factors for Type
Studies show that diabetes in pregnancy — also known as gestational diabetes — puts a pregnant person at greater risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life. Gestational diabetes is also a common cause of babies who are large-for-gestational age . LGA is defined as infants who weigh more than 90 percent of all babies of the same gestational age.
In a new study that was presented this year at the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine’s annual meeting, The Pregnancy Meeting™ — and published in the— researchers will unveil findings that suggest pregnant people who do not have diabetes but deliver a large-for-gestational age baby are at an increased risk of developing prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes 10-14 years later.
Among the 4,025 individuals who did not have gestational diabetes, 13 percent had an LGA infant; 8 percent had a small-for-gestational age infant; and 79 percent had an average-for-gestational age or normally grown infant. “So often in clinical practice when we see big babies and the individual doesn’t have gestational diabetes, we do not talk about the health consequences for the mother later in life,” says the study’s lead author Kartik K. Venkatesh, MD, PhD, a maternal-fetal medicine subspecialist and assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology and assistant professor of epidemiology at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus.
