There's been a huge increase in the rates of pregnant women developing diabetes over the last decade. As NPR's Ping Wong reports, that increase is nearly 40 percent.
Around 8 percent of pregnant women in the U.S. get gestational diabetes. It's a health problem that's risen consistently over the past 10 years. That's according to an analysis of more than 12 million births led by scientists at Northwestern University and published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
The researchers say the rise is likely related to worsening health in young people who are eating less healthfully and getting less exercise.
