Diabetes due to pregnancy is more and more common!

  1. Figures show that there is a relationship between the rising age of first conceiving women and gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that affects women who have never had this disease before pregnancy.

  1. They are confronted with a too high level of glucose in the blood and experience mild to moderate symptoms of diabetes. Why more and more women suffer from this is gradually becoming clear. I am going to discuss an overview of what is known so far in this article. Although the disease usually disappears after delivery, it can have a number of lasting consequences. That is why it is so important to pay attention to it, to try to prevent it, and if you do get it, treat it as best you can.

  1. For women who are affected, it means that later in life they are more likely to develop 'normal' diabetes and for the baby it may mean that he or she is at greater risk on chronic health problems.

  1. The babies born after a pregnancy with diabetes are generally larger and heavier in their first years of life than other children. One study showed that these children were twice as likely to become overweight later on than children whose mothers did not experience gestational diabetes. According to the same study, the children were also more at risk of birth defects, ADHD and autism.

  1. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent the risk of later problems, according to doctors. Some even recommend that women who are thinking about their first child get tested for a predisposition to diabetes. And unfortunately, friends and family often feed the myth that “pregnant women should eat for two” - which increases the risk of diabetes even more.

  1. In the Western world, the risk of developing gestational diabetes is between 2 and 10 percent of all pregnancies. But doctors believe there is an upward trend in those numbers. About half the number of women who develop gestational diabetes will later develop common diabetes.

  1. Doctors warn that for some women, overeating during pregnancy later becomes a lifestyle, and not exactly a healthy one. During your pregnancy, craving something more often and eating a little more does not hurt, but make sure that it does not become a permanent habit.

  1. The hormones that your placenta produces during pregnancy influence your glucose metabolism. For some women, that is the straw that spills the bucket. After all, women nowadays often become pregnant at a later age and are therefore already overweight before they enter pregnancy.

  1. Doctors have been focusing more on this problem for a while now, and luckily it is diagnosed earlier nowadays. The reason is that doctors saw that in some cases people used to speak of gestational diabetes, even though birth defects were found in the babies.

  1. That is why testing is now carried out between week 24 and week 28 of the pregnancy (the period in which one has the greatest chance of developing the disease) and that the standard for speaking of gestational diabetes is lowered has. This means that more women are diagnosed with the disease, which may also partly explain the upward trend in the figures. The medical world therefore advises women to keep a close eye on their diet before, but certainly during pregnancy, and to take plenty of exercise.

  1. These recommendations seem logical but unfortunately many pregnant women, and their families, seem to think that physical exercise is not good during pregnancy. Obviously you shouldn't exhaust yourself by running marathons, but walking for half an hour a day can make a lot of difference.

  1. As far as diet is concerned, the myth of 'eating for two' is not true. Women are allowed to consume about 300 extra calories per day during pregnancy. After all, you are feeding a human being, not an adult.

  1. Have you dealt with gestational diabetes before? Or are you currently pregnant and do you pay extra attention to your diet and exercise to avoid it? Comments are always welcome!
