Dear leela:

gestational diabetes is so common these days especially (it seems) with indian women. I myself did not have it but I have many friends who did. It doesn't discriminate on the basis of size (skinny or fat) from what I know. I think the main thing to remember is not the time spent on exercising, but just to lead an active life, and ofcourse eat healthy. If a genetic component is there, you may not be able to control it but deal with it the best you can. All my friends followed their doctor's plan and have beautiful healthy babies.

Good luck!
Sapna
