My sugar came slightly high in the glucose test and doc said its gdm. Nobody in my family has diabetes so im confused why it happened to me. Why does this even occur during pregnancy?
Haan, GDM mein hota kya hai na ki jab baby grow karta hai, toh placenta se kuch hormones nikalte hain. Ye hormones body ko insulin use karne se rok dete hain. Toh blood sugar badh jaata hai kyuki body usko control nahi kar paati. Family history ho toh aur chance hota hai, na.
It happens because of the hormonal changes during pregnancy, which can sometimes make your body less effective at using insulin. This can lead to higher blood sugar levels. It's quite common and usually goes away after delivery, so just follow your doctor's advice carefully.
Our elders always say to eat carefully during pregnancy, na? Actually, GDM happens because the hormones from the placenta block the insulin, so your blood sugar goes up. It's important to listen to your doctor and manage it with diet, even if family tells you to eat everything. Doctor knows best for you and baby.
I had GDM in my pregnancy. It basically happens when your body can't produce enough insulin or use it effectively due to the pregnancy hormones. My doc explained it's like your body becomes temporarily insulin resistant. It's crucial to monitor blood sugar and follow a strict diet, even if it's tough, to keep both you and baby safe.
GDM, yaani Gestational Diabetes, oh that's like your body's hormones going on a crazy roller coaster during pregnancy! The placenta makes hormones that can make your body resist insulin. So, your blood sugar gets high because your pancreas can't make enough extra insulin to cope. It's quite common, especially with double the hormones like in my case with twins!
Oh, GDM is just another one of those things hormones decide to do to you in pregnancy, as if morning sickness wasn't enough! It's because the placenta's hormones interfere with your body's insulin. So your blood sugar levels can get too high. It's good that it's usually temporary, but definitely needs to be managed properly with your doctor.
