Gestational diabetes

Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops only in women during pregnancy. Most often, this disease manifests itself in the first trimester of pregnancy. Gestational diabetes is a fairly rare disease that develops in only five percent of pregnant women.

The symptoms of the disease usually disappear after delivery, but in some cases there may be a sudden transition from gestational diabetes to diabetes mellitus of the first or second type. It is quite common in women who have had GDM (gestational diabetes mellitus) after several years, standard clinical diabetes mellitus develops.

Causes of gestational diabetes
This form of sugar sickness in pregnant women occurs in the case of impaired carbohydrate metabolism, which is often observed in the early stages of pregnancy. During this period, the sensitivity of cells to insulin, which is produced by the body itself, decreases. This is due to the sudden hormonal surge that occurs during pregnancy. And in combination with a weakened immune system and non-compliance with special diets and regimes, a disease such as GSD occurs.

In order to protect yourself from possible manifestations of this disease, it is necessary to take timely blood and urine tests, as well as regularly visit a specialist who monitors the course of pregnancy. The detection of GDM at the earliest stages of pregnancy is the key to effective further treatment and preservation of the child's life and health.

Factors that cause gestational diabetes
The causes of GDM have not been fully investigated. But scientists have identified several main factors contributing to the development of this disease.:

Being overweight. After all, the level of risk of GSD depends on how pronounced obesity is.
Genetic predisposition to the development of diabetes mellitus. If cases of diabetes have been reported in close relatives of a pregnant woman, then the risk of developing such a disease increases significantly.
Age-related features. Women over 35 years of age are much more likely to develop GSD during pregnancy than younger girls.
The presence of a negative course of past pregnancies – miscarriages, abortions, stillbirths and other pathologies.
Symptoms of gestational diabetes
This disease is characterized by extremely slow development and course and complete absence of pronounced symptoms. But the secondary signs of the onset of this disease include:

constant thirst;
decreased performance;
loss of strength;
a sharp increase in appetite;
weight loss even with intensive nutrition;
frequent loose stools.

If pregnant women find the above symptoms, they should immediately contact a specialist to conduct a series of tests and prescribe an individual course of treatment. An untimely visit to the doctor is fraught with health risks for both mother and child. Take care of yourself and be happy!
