Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rapid weight gain during pregnancy can trigger gestational diabetes, which is a temporary condition that usually goes away after the pregnancy. However, if left untreated, it can develop into type 2 diabetes later on in life. Treatment may involve changes in diet and exercise, but in severe cases, insulin may be necessary. There is no evidence that gestational diabetes causes type 1 diabetes in the child.
