Usually, <a href=" http://www.all-about-beating-diabetes.com/controlling-gestational-diabetes.html"> gestational diabetes </a> begins when your body is unable to produce and utilize its need from insulin during pregnancy, this means that glucose can’t be properly used by your body to produce energy; glucose will actually remain high in your blood (hyperglycemia); raising the results of your oral glucose tolerance test. Though scientists can’t explain the real causes for developing gestational diabetes, there are some risk factors which might have increased your susceptibility to have gestational diabetes in your second pregnancy, including: • Being a pregnant mom over thirty years old • Being obese; you might have gained excess weight after your first pregnancy and failed to regain your normal weight before the second one. • Having some relatives who have diabetes (positive family history) • Finally, gestational diabetes tends to occur more frequently in African Americans, Latino Hispanic, Native Americans Pacific Islanders individuals. My sister had got gestational diabetes when she was pregnant, after delivery was cured from her GDM, but her doctor advises her to adopt healthy dietary habits, have regular physical exercise, and avoid excess sugars for the rest of her life to avoid developing <a href=" http://www.all-about-beating-diabetes.com/type-2-diabetes-information.html"> type 2 diabetes </a>. According to ADA, and based on the results of twenty eight studies, the conversion of gestational diabetes to diabetes type 2 increases greatly in the first five years after baby delivery, fortunately, this can be prevented or delayed by continuous follow-up and healthy life style changes. Unfortunately, this accounts for your baby too; both you and your baby are more susceptible of developing diabetes type 2 for the rest of your lives.
