The precise mechanisms underlying gestational diabetes remain unknown. Its hallmark of is increased insulin resistance. Pregnancy hormones and other factors are thought to interfere with the action of insulin as it binds to the insulin receptor.
Because it is asymptomatic in most cases, the diagnosis of gestational diabetes is based on a clinical assessment of risk factors, diagnostic tests and screening tests. These tests look for high levels of glucose in plasma or serum of the blood.
I had a cousin who was pregnant and thought she didn’t have diabetes until she tested and knew for sure. There are many free kits available that can help you figure out whether you have any type of diabetes or not. Use the free kits to make sure.
