Brief Summary

Women with previous Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) are characterized by several metabolic abnormalities i.e. insulin resistance, beta-cell dysfunction and increased risk of later Diabetes Mellitus (DM). These latent disorders of glucose metabolism are demasked by the metabolic stress of pregnancy and as a routine, clinical assessment and measurement of HbA1c in addition to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is offered 3 months post partum. In this study, women with previous GDM and a control group matched on age, time of birth and BMI around 8 years after pregnancy will be investigated. Information from pregnancy and post partum examination (GDM only) will be used to identify risk factors for later development of DM. Further, life-style factors and mental health according to diabetes status will be studied.
