DIABETES DURING PREGNANCY

Have you ever wonderred why some women get diabetes when pregnant? Let us explain.
During pregnancy, insulin restistance is common/normal and it occurs in the second half of the pregnancy. Part of the reason why it occurs is because the placenta produces substances that lead to insulin resistance and as the placenta grows, the resistance increases. More than 95% of the women do not experience resistance because the pancrease produces enough insulin to overcome insulin resistance and keep blood sugars normal.

The women who get gestational diabetes stand at a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes late in life.
If you had gestational diabetes, ensure you eat healthy. Consult a dietitian if possible
-Exercise
-Get enough sleep
