My sugar test is coming up next week and im a bit tension because diabetes runs in my family. Just want to understand kyun hota hai during pregnancy, is it food or genes or what? Curious to know.
Oh God, I worried about this constantly! It's usually placental hormones that make your body insulin resistant, and it can happen even if you eat perfectly. Just get tested regularly so you don't have to keep stressing like I did.
While hormones are the main cause, keeping a check on your sugar intake and drinking warm methi water can help slightly. But if you feel extreme thirst or excessive fatigue, please consult your doctor immediately to get your levels checked.
It happens due to hormonal changes during this phase, dear. Keep a calm mind, pray, and take care of your health by eating simple, home-cooked food. God will keep everything fine.
My tracker app explained that the placenta produces hormones that build up glucose in your blood, leading to insulin resistance. It's super common and usually detected around week 24-28 with a glucose test.
My husband says the placenta secretes hormones that prevent the body from using insulin effectively, which is what causes gestational diabetes. It's not your fault at all, just a biological shift that doctors can easily help manage.
Gestational diabetes is caused by placental hormones that interfere with how your body uses insulin. I had it, and honestly, managing your carb intake and walking after meals is the best way to control it, but always follow your doctor's diet chart.
It's just those lovely hormones from the placenta playing games with your insulin levels! My body decides to do its own thing now that I'm in my third trimester, so I just avoid sweet cravings as much as possible.
