As per the available statistics, gestational diabetes appears in approximately 2-5% pregnancies. Ironically, no one is able to define the exact cause of this illness. According to experts, pregnancy gestational diabetes occurs due to interference of placental hormones with glucose metabolism. Apart from this, gestational diabetes symptoms even appear in pregnant women who are obese or have any familial history of gestational diabetes. Interestingly, diabetes symptoms during pregnancy are almost similar to the ones observed in other diabetes types.

Preventing gestational diabetes usually involves keeping your blood glucose levels under control. For this, the first step is to know whether or not you are at the risk of suffering with gestational diabetes. Exercise regularly and ensure that your lead an active and healthy lifestyle. For pregnant women, a good exercise schedule includes light to moderate exercises for at least 30mins a day and three days per week.

Do not skip meals. Doing so will throw off your blood sugar levels, which will ultimately affect your insulin levels.Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day. Between five to six smaller sized meals, spaced out about 2 to 3 hours apart is good for stabilizing your blood sugar levels, and for keeping your metabolism working efficiently.

Now having said that lets try to do our best and prevent you from getting it in the first place. Everyone has heard the saying "she is eating for two now" well technically she isn't but what is happening is the baby is collecting all the nutrients from the mother therefore leaving the mother feeling as though she hasn't eaten. Some of us may go overboard in that department and start eating what we want whether it is nutritional or not. One of the sure ways to help prevent gestational diabetes is to eat healthy and not let the junk food take over your pregnancy.

Diabetes is a condition wherein your blood sugar level is higher than the standard level. However, pre diabetes is not considered as diabetes since your blood sugar level is not high enough to be considered as diabetes. Don't lose hope yet if you are diagnosed with this condition. There is still hope left for you before it turns to diabetes. Aside from exercise, a healthy diet is a great tool for you to evade diabetes.

Preventing gestational diabetes is extremely important for the health of the mother and fetus. Excess glucose present in the blood can cross through the placenta into the fetus, thereby resulting in the birth of a baby bigger than normal size. Also, these babies are at higher risk of developing glucose intolerance, congenital respiratory problems, obesity and diabetes. In mothers, pregnancy gestational diabetes can cause hypertension, preeclampsia and fetal death.

Signs and symptoms in most cases are unnoticeable but in some cases increased urine production and excessive thirst and fatigue develop. The complications that can occur for the baby if the disease is left untreated can be lethal. These complications include the baby growing too large because of the extra glucose causing the baby to produce too much insulin resulting in a c-section birth or the baby getting stuck in the birth canal possibly sustaining injuries.
