Today is World Diabetes Day
Did you know that gestational diabetes is a condition that can develop during pregnancy? This is when blood glucose levels are higher than normal. Pregnant women who are over the age of 35, overweight, and have a history of diabetes in their family are at risk. If a mom develops gestational diabetes, she and her baby are more likely to develop diabetes later in life.
If you have any concerns about gestational diabetes, it is best to seek advice from your family health practitioner or clinic.
