Chances of recurrence with your next pregnancy run about 30 to 50 percent, with a six to 60 percent chance of developing diabetes later in life, depending which study you read and how the disease is defined. Remaining overweight increases the chance of developing adult onset diabetes by 50 to 60 percent.
