Diabetes mellitus arising in pregnancy - what does this mean
Diabetes mellitus arising in pregnancy, also known as gestational diabetes, is a condition in which pregnant women who have never had diabetes before develop high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. this is caused by the hormones produced during pregnancy, which can interfere with the action of insulin and cause the body to not be able to use it effectively.
What happens during the disease - diabetes mellitus arising in pregnancy
Diabetes mellitus arising in pregnancy (gestational diabetes) is caused by an increase in the hormones produced by the placenta during pregnancy. these hormones can interfere with the action of insulin, leading to high levels of glucose in the mother's blood. this can cause the mother's body to produce more insulin in an attempt to regulate the glucose levels, leading to a further increase in glucose levels and ultimately to gestational diabetes.
