Abstract
Gestational diabetes (GDM) is common in the United States, affecting as many as 9.2 % of live births [1]. GDM is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes in the mother [2] and unfavorable metabolic phenotypes in the offspring [3-8]; thus, GDM prevention is an important goal of larger efforts to address the type 2 diabetes epidemic. Increased maternal age and pre-pregnancy obesity are established risk factors for GDM [9-11]. Only a few studies have explored the role of environmental chemicals in the etiology of GDM.
