The extra blood glucose goes through the placenta and may lead macrosomia, or a "fat" baby. Babies with macrosomia face may have may have very low blood glucose levels at birth and are also at higher risk for breathing problems. Babies with excess insulin become children who are at risk for obesity and adults who are at risk for type 2 diabetes.
