Women with diabetes are 85 percent more likely to suffer from depression during or following pregnancy. That's according to research involving more than 50,000 women.

University of Minnesota epidemiologist Mark Pereira was a co-author of the study.

Pereira recommends that pregnant women, especially those with diabetes, consult closely with their doctor to ensure their health and the health of their baby.
