What happens to a baby whose mother has gestational diabetes and doesn't get it under control?

The main risk factor in uncontrolled gestational diabetes is rapid weight gain in the fetus. The increased blood sugar in the bloodstream can cause the baby to pack on the pounds. Bigger babies make for more complicated deliveries. Untreated gestational diabetes can also mean that your baby has an increased risk of becoming obese.


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.

What are some risks from gestational diabetes?

The main risk is a baby that gains too much weight in the womb. When your body is not processing sugar regularly (due to insulin resistance) that sugar enters the bloodstream supplied to the baby. The baby can then pack on the pounds. This is why it is important to maintain a healthy, low-carb, low-sugar diet if you are diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Your doctor will monitor your baby's weight closely to determine if you need to deliver early or have a c-section. Some babies are too big to make a vaginal delivery safely.
