Gestational Diabetes

 

Diabetes initially discovered during pregnancy (gestation) is known as gestational diabetes. Like other kinds of diabetes, gestational diabetes modifies how your body’s cells consume sugar (glucose). Gestational diabetes can result in high blood sugar levels that harm the mother and the unborn child. Although any pregnancy-related issue is concerning, there is good news. Pregnancy-related gestational diabetes can be controlled with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and, if required, medication. Your blood sugar levels often return to normal soon after giving birth if you had gestational diabetes while pregnant. 

 

Introduction:

 

Gestational diabetes can develop during pregnancy when blood sugar levels are excessively high. Between twenty-four and twenty-eight weeks into pregnancy, GD frequently appears. It is not a given that having GD means you had diabetes before getting pregnant. The pregnancy causes the problem to manifest. When it comes to pregnancy, individuals who have both types of diabetes face unique obstacles. Gestational diabetes is a medical disorder in which pregnant women acquire diabetes mellitus (high glucose levels). Due to a change in hormones during pregnancy, blood glucose levels vary to some extent in every woman. When a woman is pregnant, the placenta is crucial to producing hormones that transfer nourishment from the mother’s body to the growing fetus.

Some placental hormones aid in preventing low blood sugar in the mother. They fight against insulin’s effects. However, these hormones continue to worsen poor glucose intolerance throughout pregnancy. There are several indicators of risk for gestational diabetes, which include:

• Obesity
• Gestational diabetes history from a previous pregnancy
• Type 2 diabetes in a parent 
• PCOS history

 

Causes and Symptoms:

 

When your body can’t create enough insulin while pregnant, you get gestational diabetes. Your pancreas secretes the hormone insulin, which is key to opening the door for glucose from your blood to enter your body’s cells and be used as fuel. During pregnancy, your body produces more hormones, which results in changes like weight gain. Insulin resistance is a condition where your body’s cells use insulin less efficiently due to these changes.

In the late stages of pregnancy, insulin resistance is common in pregnant women. However, some females already have insulin resistance before conception. They are more likely to develop gestational diabetes and have higher insulin needs at the beginning of pregnancy.

Usually, gestational diabetes has no clinical signs. Your doctor may suspect that you have gestational diabetes based on your past medical conditions and whether or not you possess any risk factors, but you must be tested to be sure.
