Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes occurs more frequently among African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, and Native Americans. It is also more common among obese women and women with a family history of diabetes. After pregnancy, 5% to 10% of women with gestational diabetes are found to have type 2 diabetes. Women who have had gestational diabetes have a 20% to 50% chance of developing diabetes in the next 5-10 years.

Pre-diabetes
Pre-diabetes is a condition that occurs when a person's blood glucose
levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of
type 2 diabetes. It is estimated that at least 41 million Americans have
pre-diabetes, in addition to the more than 20 million already diagnosed
with diabetes.
