Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes is a condition in which non-diabetic women develop hyperglycemia during pregnancy. Gestational diabetes is generally asymptomatic, but increases the risk of pre-eclampsia, depression, and the need for a caesarean section. Untreated gestational babies born from diabetic mothers and may cause increased risk of overweight, postpartum hypoglycemia, and jaundice. Stillbirth may occur if left untreated. In the long run, children become obese and are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes can occur during pregnancy due to decreased insulin production. Risk factors include obesity, a history of gestational diabetes, a family history of type 2 diabetes, and polycystic ovary syndrome. Diagnosis is by blood test. Screening is recommended for normal-risk individuals between the 24th and 28th weeks of gestation. For high-risk individuals, testing can be done on the first visit before birth.
