| Gestational diabetes |
Gestational diabetes is type of diabetes that is only suffered by pregnat women.
In gestational diabetes, a women's blood sugar is higher than normal because of the other hormones pridcued during pregnancy interfere with the insulin that is produced naturally.
Gestational diabetes usually becomes apparent during the 24th tom 28th, weeks of pregnancy, and in most cases, disappears of it own accord once the baby is born.
Women with gestational diabetes usually do not have an increased risk of having baby with birth defects.
Generally, sufferers of gestational diabetes have normal blood sugar levels during the critical first stages of the pregnancy.
Whilst there can be complications caused by gestational diabetes, these can usually be managed by careful attention to nutrition and blood sugar levels.
Approximately 3 to 5 percent of all pregnant women in the developed world suffer from gestational diabetes. |
