Gestational Diabetes (during pregnancy)
Know Your Endocrinology and Diabetology Treatment
Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy, typically around the 24th to 28th week of gestation. It occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin to meet the increased demands during pregnancy, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Gestational diabetes generally resolves after childbirth, but it requires careful management to ensure the health of both the mother and the baby.
