Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common and important medical complications affecting pregnancy and resolves once the pregnancy has ended. However, about 3 per cent of women with a diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus have type 2 diabetes diagnosed for the first time in pregnancy and therefore it persists after the pregnancy is over.
