Clinical Risk Factors and First Gestational 75 g OGTT May Predict Recurrent and New-Onset Gestational Diabetes in Multiparous Women.

ABSTRACT: Background: Women who experience gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during their first pregnancy are at a high risk of developing GDM again in subsequent pregnancies. Even mothers with no previous history of GDM may develop the condition in a new pregnancy.
