Healthy Pregnancy Whilst Diabetic. This is a type of diabetes that is first seen in a pregnant woman who did not have diabetes before she was pregnant. Gestational diabetes is diabetes that develops during pregnancy.
Gestational diabetes is a temporary (in most cases) form of diabetes in which the body does not produce adequate amounts of insulin to regulate sugar during pregnancy. As with other types of diabetes, you’ll eat mostly complex carbs and limit “simple” carbs like sugars and refined starches. Diabetes is when your body has too much sugar in the blood (called blood sugar or glucose).
