Background: Despite the recommendations for postpartum blood glucose monitoring post gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); scientific evidence reveals that these recommendations may not be fully complied to. This study aimed to follow-up women up to 2 years post-delivery with pregnancies complicated by GDM and healthy controls to assess this fact.Methods: Women with GDM (n=78) and normal glucose tolerant (n=89) delivered in 2014 were followed up for 2 years. They were informed and enquired via telephone about their blood glucose screening, physical activity, postpartum complications, and current weight status of mother and baby.Results: Women with previous GDM were older and reported higher body weight 2 years post-delivery. At the 2year follow-up, n=11 (14.1%) participants had developed diabetes, all with previous GDM. Both weight at birth (3.80.5kg) and at 2-year (10.7 +/- 2.3kg) for the babies born to GDM mothers was significantly higher than the NGT group babies (2.6 +/- 0.63 and 7.1 +/- 1.4kg; p
