Gestational Diabetes- It is a temporary form of diabetes which some women may experience during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes deals with the way how a body processes and breaks down the sugars at a cellular level which is quite similar to Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. The high blood sugar associated with gestational diabetes can be put under check with proper nutrition and regular exercise, you would not be required to take insulin. As the pregnancy ends the blood sugar goes back to the normal.

•     Some of the signs includes the pregnant woman feeling extremely thirsty and visit to the restroom at regular intervals. If you experience such things during pregnancy then you are required to consult a doctor with immediate effect who would tell you whether you have this form of diabetes or not.

•     Keep a track of your blood sugar level after getting pregnant which will enable you in controlling gestational diabetes. Eat a nutritious diet and include some form of exercise in your daily routine. Visit a physician who may appoint you an endocrinologist to help manage blood sugar levels.

•     Gestational diabetes does not affect the baby in any which way but it alters how the baby may develop. The baby may consume the excess sugar found in the body of the mother which may have entered the placenta.

•     Complications- A high birth weight of the baby which may have been caused by the excess glucose found in the baby’s system. Gestational diabetes may also lead to a low blood glucose level in the baby after birth. The baby may develop respiratory distress syndrome due to an early delivery. These are some of the complications which are not guaranteed to occur but are more likely to occur.
