Gestational diabetes begins when the body can not produce or use any insulin, which is needed for pregnancy. Without enough insulin, glucose can not leave the blood and converted into energy. The glucose level rises because it accumulates in the blood.

It manifests in 2 to 5% of pregnant women during the second half of gestation, because hormones determining fetal placental development interferes with normal insulin function.

Symptoms.

Gestational diabetes does not cause noticeable symptoms or signs. In some cases, pregnant women may experience more hunger, extreme thirst, frequent urination and abundant, blurred vision, fatigue or snoring at night.
