Gestational Diabetes

• December 21, 2020

Gestational diabetes is diabetes that is first diagnosed in pregnancy (gestation). Gestational diabetes involves the use of sugar in the cells, including other complications of diabetes (glucose). Gestational diabetes triggers high blood sugar that can impact your pregnancy and the health of your infant. While any pregnancy problem is critical, there's good news. Via consuming nutritious foods, exercise, and, if required, taking treatment, expectant mothers will help manage gestational diabetes. Blood sugar management will keep you and your child safe and avoid challenging delivery. Blood sugar normally recovers to normal in females with gestational diabetes shortly after birth. Yet you have a greater chance of having type 2 diabetes if you have had gestational diabetes. You'll be checked more frequently for blood sugar shifts.
 
Non-carefully controlled gestational diabetes can progress to high blood sugar levels. For you and your infant, high blood pressure can cause complications, including a higher risk of having a C-section to childbirth.
