गर्भावधि मधुमेह: केस दृष्टिकोण

Gestational diabetes occurs when your body can’t make enough insulin during your pregnancy. During pregnancy, body makes more hormones and goes through other changes, such as weight gain. These changes cause your body’s cells to use insulin less effectively, a condition called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance increases your body’s need for insulin. All pregnant women have some insulin resistance during late pregnancy. However, some women have insulin resistance even before they get pregnant. They start pregnancy with an increased need for insulin and are more likely to have gestational diabetes.
