What is the cause of
GDM?
It
is not known what causes gestational diabetes for sure, but during research,
few clues have been found. The hormones produced during pregnancy can make it difficult
for your body to use insulin properly.
Putting you at an increased risk of insulin resistance. As we all know pregnancy places a heavy
demand on the body.
The placenta supports the baby as it grows.
Hormones from the placenta help the baby develop. But these hormones also block
the action of your insulin in your body. This problem is called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance makes it hard for your
body to use insulin. You may need up to three times as much insulin.
Gestational
diabetes starts when your body is not able to make and use all the insulin it
needs for pregnancy. Without enough insulin, glucose cannot leave the blood and
be changed to energy. Glucose builds up in the
blood to high levels. This is called hyperglycemia.
