Gestational Diabetes

.

Gestational DiabetesGestational DiabetesGestational Diabetes occurs in some women during pregnancy and affects the body in a similar manner to Type 2 Diabetes, including the presence of increased levels of insulin and sugar in the bloodstream. When a woman has Gestational Diabetes, she may have Diabetes only for the duration of her pregnancy; however, about 25-50% of women who have Gestational Diabetes develop Type 2 Diabetes later in life.

Why do some women get Gestational Diabetes?
Due to increased hormone levels in pregnant women, women may be less sensitive to their insulin. Gestational Diabetes often occurs in women who are overweight, though it is not solely linked to overweight women. Also, just because a mother has Diabetes during a pregnancy does not mean that the fetus will develop Diabetes.

Are you at risk?

Gestational Diabetes can generally be controlled with proper nutrition and exercise, but may also need to be controlled through medication, such as insulin.
