Family based studies of the Pima Indians of Arizona, a population with a very high prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes, have yielded convincing evidence that exposure to diabetes in pregnancy per se results in greater mean body mass index (BMI), fasting glucose and insulin, and risk of type 2 diabetes in offspring (during childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood).
