So you’re having a baby! Congratulations!

This should be a wonderful time, but do you know that 3-10% of pregnancies will develop a condition called Gestational Diabetes?

GDM (gestational diabetes mellitus)

GDM is a condition in which women without previously diagnosed diabetes exhibit high blood sugar levels during pregnancy.

No specific cause has been identified, but it is believed that the hormones produced during pregnancy reduce a woman's sensitivity to insulin, resulting in high blood sugar levels.

Gestational diabetes generally has few symptoms and it is most commonly diagnosed by screening during pregnancy. Diagnostic tests detect high levels of glucose in blood samples.

Babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes are at increased risk of complications, primarily growth abnormalities and chemical imbalances such as low blood sugar. Gestational diabetes is a reversible condition and women who have adequate control of glucose levels can effectively decrease the associated risks and give birth to healthy babies.

If you are at risk for this type of diabetes or have been diagnosed as having GDM there are solutions and programs to have a healthy and happy pregnancy. There are natural and safe methods to effectively overcome the complications of Gestational Diabetes.
