Type 1 Diabetes<\/span><\/p>\n

Having type 1 diabetes increases your risk for many serious health issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gestational diabetes<\/span><\/p>\n

Gestational diabetes affects about 4 % of all pregnant women – about 135,000 cases in the United States each year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because gestational diabetes can hurt you and your baby, you need to start treatment quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Treatment for gestational diabetes aims to keep blood glucose levels equal to those of pregnant women who don’t have gestational diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Treatment for gestational diabetes always includes special meal plans and scheduled physical activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

It may also include daily blood glucose testing and insulin injections.<\/span><\/p>\n

You will need help from your doctor, nurse educator, and other members of your healthcare team so that your treatment for gestational diabetes can be changed as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the mother-to-be, treatment for gestational diabetes helps lower the risk of a cesarean section birth that very large babies may require.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sticking with your treatment for gestational diabetes will give you a healthy pregnancy and birth, and may help your baby avoid future poor health.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pre-diabetes<\/span><\/p>\n

Pre-diabetes is a condition that occurs when a person’s blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are 40-plus million Americans who have pre-diabetes, in addition to the 20-plus million who have diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
