Is low blood sugar a symptom of pregnancy?

Low blood sugar is not a routine symptom of pregnancy. If you suspect you have low blood sugar, see your doctor immediately, because this could be a complication of pregnancy known as gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is treatable and does not mean you have diabetes for life--it is a pregnancy induced condition. Most doctors and midwives will have you do an oral glucose challenge test at some point, which screens for this condition.

How is diabetes linked to personal health?

Diabetes is a chronic disease which, for the most part is caused by personal lifestyle choices. Improper diet and lack of physical exercise are the two most common lifestyle components that lead to diabetes. Obesity is closely related to both of these personal lifestyle choices, and is a risk factor for diabetes. There are at least three common types of diabetes: Type 1 Diabetes, also called Juvenile or Insulin dependent diabetes, occurs when the pancreas does not make sufficient insulin. Type 2 Diabetes is the most common form and traditionally occurred only in adulthood. With the obesity epidemic, this form of diabetes is more and more prevalent even in children. Gestational diabetes is diagnosed when it occurs during pregnancy, although some people with gestational diabetes are really Type 2 diabetics who were never evaluated by a health-care provider. Type 1 diabetes does not appear to be linked to personal lifestyle choices. On the other hand, both Type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes are convincingly linked to poor dietary choices, inadequate exercise and obesity.

Can gestational diabetes turn into type 1 diabetes?

In most women, diabetes goes away after the baby is born and placenta delivered. The extra hormones in your body are what causes the insulin resistance. Once you aren't pregnant anymore and the hormones go away, your body goes back to normal insulin production. That is the case for most women, but in some women diabetes continues after pregnancy. It is also common for women who have had gestational diabetes to develop Type 2 diabetes later on in life. As always, it is smart to maintain a diabetic diet (low carb/low sugar).
