gestational diabetes
Expecting mother's condition
Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy in women who didn't previously have the condition.
The body becomes less able to regulate blood sugar, requiring monitoring and sometimes treatment to protect both mother and baby.
It usually resolves after delivery but increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
