The study says that following a simple Mediterranean-style diet might not be able to the overall risk of adverse maternal and offspring complications, but it may help reduce risk of gestational diabetes and weight gain during pregnancy.

Maternal diabetes may prove detrimental for the fetal heart development of the child, a new study has revealed

Over a billion people across the globe suffer from high blood pressure or hypertension. It may also be a leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, foetal and maternal death in pregnancy, dementia and renal failure

Pregnant women who are particularly vulnerable to iron deficiency, may also be at risk if iron is found in excess in their bodies. They are likely to develop gestational diabetes, a study has found.

Women with vitamin B12 deficiency during pregnancy may predispose their children to metabolic diseases such as Type-2 diabetes, a team of researchers led by one of Indian origin has warned.

London: Babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes or pre-gestational diabetes (prior to pregnancy) may be at an increased risk of developing malformations, abnormal size, jaundice and low blood sugar, says a new study. “Both gestational diabetes and pre-gestational diabetes in pregnancy are associated with worse neo-natal outcomes compared...

Babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes (which develops during pregnancy) or pre-gestational diabetes (prior to pregnancy) may be at an increased risk of developing malformations, abnormal size, jaundice and low blood sugar, says a new study.

Breastfeeding has the potential to reduce the long-term risk of developing Type 2 diabetes among women with gestational diabetes, and is a cost-effective intervention, says a study.

Adequate intake of folic acid during pregnancy is likely to protect children from a future risk of obesity.

Daughters born to overweight mothers who also developed gestational diabetes are significantly more likely to experience an earlier onset of one sign of puberty, a new study has found.

Infants whose mothers had diabetes during pregnancy are at a higher risk for childhood obesity, but breast-feeding lowers that risk.

Babies who are exposed to mom's diabetes and obesity while in the womb are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes in adolescence.

A recent study suggests that women who are obese when they become pregnant appear to be more likely to give birth to babies with various birth defects than women of healthy weight. Moreover, simply being overweight but not obese at the time of conception seems to increase the risk of having a child with heart defects or more than one unrelated birt...

A study was carried out to check the association of maternal age at the time of delivery with the risk of childhood diabetes. It was found that older mothers have a risk of type 1 diabetes among their children. Type I Diabetes is also known as insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. People with this type of diabetes mellitus make little or no insu...
