Gestational Diabetes is sometimes referred to as Type 3 Diabetes. It acts very similar to Type 1 Diabetes in that the symptoms come on strong and fast and can do a great deal of damage to your body in a short amount of time. If you are pregnant and have even the slightest thought that you may have gestational diabetes, get to your doc IMMEDIATELY. You could potentially create life-threatening circumstances to yourself and your baby. If not life-threatining, at the very least you will create serious complications without treatment such as macrosomia (meaning giving birth to a very large baby due to increased blood sugar levels). The baby may also easily develop hypoglycemia after birth because it has gotten used to a high sugar atmosphere and is suddenly taken away from it. Symptoms include excessive increased thirst, excessive increased urination, increased hunger, weight loss, blurred vision and increased risk of infections (especially yeast infections because your body is trying to get rid of so much excess sugar through your urine - high sugar urine = breeding ground for yeast). Get to your doc ASAP if you experience any of these symptoms. On a side note, your gestational diabetes will most likely go away immediately after delivering the baby. However, you have a greatly increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes much later in life. Treat your body well and you'll have a fighting chance of avoiding this disease altogether in the future.

Technically, there is such thing as type 3 diabetes, but the medical world doesn't use that title. Other than type 1 (known as juvenile-onset diabetes) and type 2 (most common, known as late-onset diabetes), your "type 3" diabetes is referred to as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). It is first diagnosed during pregnancy. While the carbohydrates intolerance usually returns to normal after birth, the mother has a significant chance of developing permanent diabetes. Conditions such as family history of diabetes, increasing maternal age, obesity and being a member of an ethnic group susceptible to diabetes all increase these risks.

Type 3 diabetes is known as Gestational diabetes mellitus. People suffering from this illness are genetically predisposed, meaning it has been passed down through the family line.

What are the classifications of being diabetic?

The principal two idiopathic forms of diabetes mellitus are known as types 1 and 2. The term "type�1 diabetes" has universally replaced several former terms, including childhood-onset diabetes, juvenile diabetes, and insulin-dependent diabetes. Likewise, the term "type�2 diabetes" has replaced several former terms, including adult-onset diabetes, obesity-related diabetes, and non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Beyond these two types, there is no agreed-upon standard nomenclature. Various sources have defined "type 3 diabetes" as, among others, gestational diabetes, insulin-resistant type�1 diabetes (or "double diabetes"), type�2 diabetes which has progressed to require injected insulin, and latent autoimmune diabetes of adults. There is also maturity onset diabetes of the young which is a group of several single gene (monogenic) disorders with strong family histories that present as type�2 diabetes before 30 years of age.
