The body doesn't have a fixed number of insulin receptors it "needs," as this can vary based on factors like individual metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and overall health. Insulin receptors are present on nearly all cells, particularly those in muscle, fat, and liver tissues, to facilitate glucose uptake. The number of functional receptors can change in response to factors such as obesity, exercise, and diet. Essentially, the body aims to maintain a balance that allows for effective glucose regulation.

What impact does gestational diabetes have on the placenta?
Gestational diabetes affects the mother only after the baby's body has been formed. So no birth defects, but babies may develop low blood glucose and breathing difficulty.The placenta supports the baby as it grows. Hormones from the placenta help the baby develop. But these hormones also block the action of the mother's insulin in her body. This problem is called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance makes it hard for the mother's body to use insulin. She may need up to three times as much insulin.
