Gestational diabetes, the kind first diagnosed during pregnancy, has been thought to take place when other hormones made in the placenta, block the actions of insulin. The blocking of the action of insulin is similar to Type 2 diabetes in which insulin is being made in the pancreas, but the body is unable to use it efficiently. New information about Gestational diabetes suggests the pancreas could also be making a lower-than-normal supply of the hormone, which is what happens in Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is caused by antibodies to the beta cells of the pancreas, the ones that make insulin. As the body's own antibodies attack the beta cells, the pancreas is unable to make insulin and insulin must be replaced artificially. In a study reported on in the medical journal Gynecology and Endocrinology in August 2015, 22 women diagnosed with Gestational diabetes were given 75 grams of sugar in the standard sugar tolerance test administered to pregnant women. Tests revealed the bodies of the pregnant women not only released low quantities of insulin, but resisted what little insulin they produced. From these results it was concluded both poor production of insulin and low sensitivity to it contribute to Gestational diabetes. Is Gestational diabetes a combination of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes? Or an entirely unique condition? The standard treatment up until now has been insulin, but that is beginning to change. More and more oral drugs designed for Type 2 diabetes have been found to be safe and effective when prescribed to treat women diagnosed with diabetes during their pregnancy, either alone or in combination with insulin. Ten to 20 percent of women with Gestational diabetes are treated with insulin. It is not yet known how many are treated with oral medications such as metformin or sitagliptin because this form of treatment is new for the condition. Fetal growth must be carefully monitored so labor can be induced if the baby becomes overweight. An overweight or obese newborn can suffer from a fractured shoulder during birth or require a Cesarian operation or C-section if a normal birth is considered too difficult. Newborns exposed to high blood sugar can also be born with low blood sugar due to their pancreas overcompensating by making excessive amounts of insulin. Overweight and obese babies can become overweight and obese children and adults, in danger of developing Type 2 diabetes and other complications. A test to assess whether the baby's lungs are mature enough to breathe oxygen may be performed if induction of labor is contemplated. Fortunately the procedure is rarely needed. Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2 diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
