Diabetes and Pregnancy
- Gestational Diabetes
About 135,000, or 4% of all pregnant women, are affected by
gestational diabetes in the United State every year.
- Gestational Diabetes Diet
Because of the risks associated with pregnancy and diabetes it is
important that any woman diagnosed with diabetes during pregnancy
follow a gestational diabetes diet.
- The Affects of Diabetes on Pregnancy
Health problems for the pregnant woman with diabetes have been greatly reduced due to an increased emphasis on maintaining tight control of blood glucose levels, early prenatal care, and a team approach by health professionals. The prognosis for the diabetic woman with gestational type 1, or type 2 diabetes is positive if significant vascular damage has not occurred.
- The Affects of
Pregnancy on Diabetes
A woman with diabetes can be significantly affected during a pregnancy. Insulin requirements can be drastically altered from the physiological changes brought about by a pregnancy. There is also the chance that pregnancy can quicken the progress of vascular disease that is a secondary condition brought on by diabetes.
- The Risks to Infants of Diabetic Mothers
Newborns born to diabetic mothers are at an increased risk for a variety of complications. Most of these can be attributed to high maternal blood glucose levels.
