Gestational Diabetes!!!! Who is at Risk?

Gestational diabetes occurs in 1 to 2 percent of all pregnant women. The disease typically occurs during the 2nd half of pregnancy and the symptoms are usually not clearly visible.

The most obvious gestational diabetes symptoms are:
* Very thirsty
* Excessive Urination
* Much amniotic
* Excessive Weight Gain

Gestational diabetes is a disorder in carbohydrate metabolism during pregnancy occurs.
Because certain pregnancy hormones insulin resistance cause occurs during pregnancy impaired glucose tolerance. That is the system that regulates sugar in the blood is deficient and not all recorded glucose correctly understand. In a normal pregnancy expiring decreases in fasting blood sugar before breakfast, by the constant release of sugar to the baby. After dinner that takes blood sugar, however, because the insulin from working properly. This is a normal process that is needed to give the baby enough sugar for its energy and fat. Diabetes during pregnancy increases the blood sugar too high and there is sugar pregnancy. There is both more glucose to the fetus while the mother herself more fat as primary energy source. The mother saves her glucose as it were for her child. In most cases, the insulin resistance disappears a few days after birth, coinciding with the fact that the placenta is removed, and the diabetes disappears. Approximately 8-10% of women continues to exist diabetes.

Chances of Gestational Diabetes Causes:
* When diabetes occurs in your family
* If a child already had a high birth weight more than 4 kg
* When a previous pregnancy with gestational diabetes
* Overweight
* Over 35 years
* Previous miscarriage
* Blood pressure is higher than average

Risks for mother and child:
The elevated blood sugar levels cause an overgrowth of the fetus with a greater accumulation of lipid, a larger placenta and amniotic more. As a result, chances of complications at birth greater. Think of premature birth and birth trauma e.g. shoulder dislocation. There is also an increased risk of caesarean section during childbirth.
The child is usually much heavier and apparently looks healthier than it really is. Moreover an increased risk of developing diabetes later in life of baby.
The mother is a chance to develop diabetes following pregnancy again. It sent an increased risk for developing diabetes later in life.

Gestational Diabetes Treatment:
For most women, a diet a first measure, Instead of three big meals a day, you will take a number of smaller meals spread throughout the day. We find how many carbohydrates you can eat. It is thus important that the weight gain is limited. Carbohydrates are among more bread, potatoes and foods containing sugar (chocolate, candy, cake, soda, etc.) should remain in the closet. Often a diet sufficient to prevent the disease develops, and you or your baby damage. It happens however that a diet is not enough to keep the diabetes under control. If so, additional insulin administered during pregnancy. In most cases suffice two daily injections of intermediate-acting insulin. In classical cases, insulin therapy is discontinued from the day after delivery.
