Abstract: Fetal programming concerns the fetal physiological or metabolic adaptations responding to an adverse environment during a critical developmental stage that become definitive later in life. The idea that tendency to develop chronic and degenerative disease as type 2 diabetes, obesity or hypertension could be programmed since the fetal stage is supported by scientific evidence. An excessive exposure to nutrients can be considered as an adverse environment. It is known that prevalence of overweight and obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, overeating, insulin secretion dysregulation and insulin resistance is higher in children born from mothers presenting gestational diabetes or obesity.
