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).
How is diabetes caused by a hormone imbalance?
Either too little or no Insulin (hormone) is produced to counteract an increase in Blood Glucose Levels due to hormonal imbalance. If enough Insulin is produced then most of the glucose can be stored and the rest would be excreted by urination. The hormonal imbalance can be genetic but can also be due to a longterm, unhealthy lifestyle where a lot of sugar is consumed and little exercise done. Target cells in the liver become adapted to high BGL and do not produce Insulin to counteract a small increase in BGL.
