How Do I Get Gestational Diabetes?
Gestational diabetes occurs when a woman who hasn't previously had diabetes develops high blood sugar levels during pregnancy. It happens when the body is unable to produce enough insulin to meet the extra demands of pregnancy, possibly due to hormonal changes. Risk factors include being overweight, having a family history of diabetes, or having had gestational diabetes in a previous pregnancy.
