What causes pregnancy diabetes?

Gestational diabetes usually occurs around the 24th week of pregnancy. It is not yet known exactly what causes gestational diabetes, but the working theory is insulin resistance. Pregnancy hormones may block or weaken the affects of insulin. This is known as insulin resistance where the body does not produce enough insulin to convert the glucose in food into energy cells need. This leads to a buildup of "sugar" in the blood or high glucose.

What on Earth is diabetes?

Diabetes is a disease where the body doesn't produce any/enough in History sulin, the hormone necessary to break down sugar and convert it into energy. This makes the sugar (glucose) stay in the blood, causing higher blood glucose (glycaemia) levels. Also, in type II diabetes, the body produces insulin, but the cell isn't able to convert sugar into energy causing high blood glucose levels. Type II is managed by diet and insulin therapy.
