There are high chances of diabetes recurring when a lady has had gdm. Hence we usually ask for regular checkups starting from as early as 6 weeks after delivery. Your wife has now developed type 2 diabetes and her reports warrant starting of medicines urgently. Weight loss is also mostly due to diabetes.
