Gestational Diabities

 

Gestational diabetes is a type of metabolism disorder that only develops in pregnant women. This condition occurs when the body fails to properly convert food into energy. Typically, gestational diabetes goes away after the pregnancy is over, but women who develop it are generally at a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes later on in life. Although this condition tends to go away after pregnancy, it can cause potentially serious health problems to the mother and fetus during pregnancy. The best way to promote a healthy pregnancy if you have gestational diabetes is to follow the treatment plan outlined by your healthcare provider.
