As the pancreas in that child develops, it apparently responds to this higher dose of glucose by developing more insulin-secreting cells. So, the higher the blood sugar in the pregnant mother, the more insulin-secreting cells her child will develop, and the more insulin the child will secrete as it gets close to birth. The baby will now be born with more fat, and it will have a tendency to oversecrete insulin and become insulin-resistant itself as it gets older.

A high-quality piece of communication meets the following criteria:
* Is it interesting and attention-grabbing? (Does it make people want to read it?)
* Is it precise and clear? (Can people easily understand what it’s trying to say?)
* Is it empathetic? (Is it written to be understood from the reader’s point of view?)
* Does it help people solve a problem? (Is it clearly useful and effective?)
* Does it inspire people to take action? (Does it make it easy for others to apply it?)
