One thing you should know that, not everyone with type 2 diabetes needs to use insulin. If you do, it’s just because your pancreas is not producing enough insulin on its own. It’s crucial that you take insulin as directed. There are other prescription medications that may help as well.

Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes is defined as blood-sugar elevation that affect the women during pregnancy; it is known to affect around three to eight percent of women. Left undiagnosed or untreated Gestational diabetes can lead to serious problems such as high birth weight and breathing problems for the baby. All pregnant women undergo for the gestational diabetes test between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy, as this is when this problem usually originates. Gestational diabetes usually resolves in the mother after the baby is born, however insights demonstrate that women who have gestational diabetes have a widely greater chance of developing type 2 diabetes within five to 10 years.

How is gestational diabetes treated?

If you’re diagnosed with gestational diabetes, your treatment plan will be dependent on the blood glucose levels throughout the day. In most cases, your doctor will advise you to test your blood sugar before(Fasting) and after meals (Random) and manage your condition by eating healthy and exercising regularly. In some cases, they may also add insulin injections if necessary.

If your doctor encourages you to monitor your blood sugar levels, you can check it yourself very easily by using Glucometer (glucose-monitoring device). Your doctor may also prescribe insulin injections for you until you give birth to the child. Ask your doctor to adjust timing of your insulin injections in relation to your meals and exercise to avoid low blood sugar. Your specialist can also tell you what do if your blood sugar levels fall too low or are consistently higher than they should be.

Prediabetes

Prediabetes increases not only your risk of developing diabetes but also your risk of heart disease and stroke. Although prediabetes is not in fact diabetes, some experts now consider it to be the initial step to type 2 diabetes. This condition is marked by blood sugar levels that are too high to be considered normal but are not yet high enough to be in the range of a typical diabetes diagnosis.
