Any woman, who had developed gestational diabetes, has a risk of developing Type 2DM in future. It can develop anytime after delivery. So it is advisable to all women who had a history of gestational diabetes, follow lifestyle modification.
As of now, you should follow diabetic diet and do atleast 30 min of exercise. Remember maintain your weight in ideal range. If you gain wait, you may develop overt diabetes.
