Abstract

Epidemiological, clinical, as well as experimental findings obtained during the past two decades in Germany suggest that gestational diabetes might be a predisposing factor for increased risk of Type I childhood-onset diabetes in the offspring, which could therefore be prevented-at least in part-by systematic diagnostic screening and correction of maternal hyperglycemia during pregnancy.
