Got gestational diabetes during the first pregnancy. Will I get it again with the second?

Patient's question:

I had a son three years ago. At that time, due to being overweight and poor constitution, I developed gestational diabetes. I didn't receive treatment, but thankfully, the child is healthy. In the past few years, my blood sugar has not been very good, and I haven't taken any medication. I would like to know if I might develop this condition again if I have a second child.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your situation, it is currently difficult to determine, and it is also possible. It is recommended to have regular check-ups after pregnancy and eat less high-sugar foods.
