Who are prone to gestational diabetes?

Who are prone to gestational diabetes?

Gestational diabetes mellitus is the first discovery after pregnancy, or the first diabetes is called gestational diabetes mellitus. Most of the diabetic patients were diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy. So who are prone to gestational diabetes?

Elderly women. According to Chinese standards, pregnant women over the age of 35 belong to elderly pregnant women. The reason for the rhythm of life and social pressure is that marriage and childbearing are generally late. It is not very natural that women get pregnant too late. The chance of gestational diabetes is very large.

Abnormal islet function. Dysfunction of the islet is hard to detect. Even a young, reasonably weight pregnant mother will suffer from gestational diabetes. Therefore, it is necessary to check before pregnancy.

Overweight. Obesity is a major factor in diabetes. It is also true for gestational diabetes. If the body is strong before pregnancy, even if blood sugar is not abnormal, the blood sugar during pregnancy will increase easily. Because of high calorie intake and less exercise for a long time, it is much more important to control weight before pregnancy than during pregnancy.

A pregnant mother with a clan genetic history. Especially mothers and fathers or mothers or brothers and sisters who have a history of diabetes are more likely to have gestational diabetes.

Giant production history. According to the research, the possibility of gestational diabetes increased significantly among mothers who had given birth to over 8 kg of weight. As for children, macrosomia is likely to have excess nutrition in childhood, overweight in adolescence, and high incidence of diabetes in adulthood.

Pregnancy loss: those who have had unexplained spontaneous abortion or stillbirth.

Fasting glucose positive patients often appear in routine urine examination during pregnancy. It shows that there have been problems in glucose metabolism in pregnant mothers, which must be paid great attention to.

Candida vaginitis (or mycotic vaginitis) occurs repeatedly during pregnancy.

The fetus is found to be larger than the actual gestational week during prenatal examination, or there may be too much amniotic fluid. The incidence of diabetes in pregnant women with amniotic fluid is 10 times higher than that in non-diabetic mothers. The reason may be related to the increase of fetal urine excretion caused by fetal hyperglycemia and hypertonic diuresis.
