Diabetes in pregnancy linked to child's obesity risk
New York AP reports children born to diabetic mothers face a significant chance of being severely overweight by age eight, despite normal size at age one. The study, with Northwestern University, tracked 124 children and found 54 percent of boys and 44 percent of girls above 90th percentile weight by eight, suggesting prenatal insulin exposure may raise obesity risk and underscoring the value of strict maternal glucose control during pregnancy.
