Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Women with gestational diabetes have an increased risk of high blood pressure, high blood acidity, infection, and death. They also have a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes in the decade following the birth. The fetus of a woman with gestational diabetes may become excessively large, with an increased risk for birth trauma; malformations of the heart, nervous system, and bones; respiratory distress; and fetal death. Even after an uncomplicated birth, the newborn is at risk for high insulin levels and fluctuations in blood glucose.
