1 :
No and it will disappear once bub arrives but you may be a little more susceptible to getting diabetes when you are older.
2 :
no..it doesnt develop in every women getting pregnant
3 :
Not every pregnant women developes gestational diabetes. Since this is however a common problem and treatable, all pregnant women are tested. Uncontrolled diabetes while pregnant makes for a large baby which could cause problems during the birth and then after the baby is born they can have their blood sugars crash and that's not good for them. If you develop diabetes while pregnant, it means that you could get diabetes later in life or at least you are in a high risk group.

Does diabetes Mellitus in pregnant women poses problems

Does diabetes Mellitus in pregnant women poses problems?

Diabetes - 3 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
The prevalence of Type-2 diabetes mellitus is higher in women, partly related to obesity. The Type-2 diabetes typically doubles the coronary heart disease risk in men and triples the risk in women. Diabetes Mellitus in pregnant women poses problems for the mother, fetus and child. Women with established diabetes may have menstrual problems and difficulties in conceiving, while pregnancy itself worsens diabetic control and may cause certain diabetic complications to progress in mother. Maternal diabetes is also hazardous for the fetus and carries an increased risk for fetal loss and major congenital malformations. However, nowadays most women of child bearing age can realistically expect to become mothers of healthy children with intensive glycemic control. Improvements have ranged from technological advances in fetal surveillance (ultrasound scanning), home glucose monitoring and intensive insulin regimens have enabled even women with multiple diabetic complications to have successful pregnancies. Diabetes Mellitus in pregnancy is classified into pre-gestational and gestational diabetes; gestational diabetes is defined as diabetes that is discovered during pregnancy. Approximately 7% of all pregnancies are complicated by GDM. Normal pregnancy reduces insulin sensitivity because of diabetogenic effects of placental hormones. This effect is maximal in the late second and third trimester. Gestationaldiabetes resolves after delivery, but may recur in subsequent pregnancies and the lifetime risk for developing Type-2 diabetes is 30%. Indications for detection of diabetes in pregnant women * Family history of Diabetes * Glucose in urine sample * History of unexplained prenatal loss * History of large baby * History of congenitally malformation infant * Maternal obesity * Maternal age more than 25 years * Members of ethnic/racial group with high prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus To prevent excess spontaneous abortion and congenital malformations in infants of diabetic mothers, diabetes care and education must begin before conception. There are no contraceptive methods that are specifically contraindicated in women with diabetes. The selection of a method should focus on methods with proven high degrees of effectiveness. Once patient achieves stable sugar control then contraception can be discounted and plan for pregnancy. Management during pregnancy Quit smoking/alcohol Home blood glucose monitoring Diet control/Folate supplementation Regular exercise Fetal monitoring by ultrasound scan Accurate insulin regimen
2 :
Most definitely YES! Contact your gynecologist and have yourself tested. If you are even a hint of close to Type 2, see a dietitian. The fetus inherits many side ailments from the mother not LESS of which can be BIRTH DEFECTS! Go see a doctor. Not Yahoo Answers.
3 :
Yes, yes, yes. You don't give any indication if this affects you personally (or someone you know) but know that you need to have your blood sugars well under control before you try to conceive. There are serious birth defects that have been linked to high blood sugars during the earliest weeks of pregnancy - like a hole in the heart or deformation of the spinal column. Your chances of miscarriage skyrocket if you have uncontrolled blood sugars. "Poses problems" - what an understatement! It can be done and diabetics can have healthy babies, but it takes vigilance and constant monitoring.

To any Nurses or Doctors: a question about possible beginning of S/S of diabetes II

To any Nurses or Doctors: a question about possible beginning of S/S of diabetes II?
I know the pathophysiology for the cause of type 2 diabetes mellitus, but I am not sure of this problem one of my friends is having. They have always been pretty healthy, but are currently in school and very busy with school, stress, exams, etc. They have mostly always followed a very healthy diet and used to jog and exercise daily for years and years, but now it is different. To the point, sometimes when they eat alot of sweets, for instance like a cupcake with lots o frosting, their face becomes minorly flushed, and the cheeks feel very hot and slightly tingly. I am aware that wih insulin resistance, and my hypothesis is that the sweet glucose from this cupcake would not be able to get into the cell, and is just in the interstitial spaces, or whatever, and that is what is causing the flushing. Do you think it sounds like the possibility of the beginning of type 2 (insulin resistant) diabetes mellitus? Or because of the strict diet, their body can't adjust to high amts of sugar?

I have never heard of DM II causing people to be flushed when they eat sweets. I guess it may be possible, but the only way to know for sure is to get a urinalysis. If she is in school there are always free clinics or go to student health.

Catholics,Baptist, Evangelicals etc-is type 2 diabetes a sin?
Are people who have this sinning and their illness is caused by their sin,and not due to pathology for Gods glory(when things get fixed to glorify God with new technology etc), because this diabetes is heavily linked to lifestyle choices like being overweight and eating unhealthy sugar filled foods etc and it isnt purely genetical either because people who move to places like America develop it more then their genetic groups who didnt move and remained in the old country. So is diabetes 2 sin? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_mellitus_type_2

Simple. Doctors are human and, therefore, prone to error due to assumption that because the patient is an adult and has high blood sugar, that they must be type two. If they did a C-peptide test and an antibody test, there would be little doubt.
