More and more women are developing what’s called “gestational diabetes” that is they become diabetic while they are pregnant. New York Times has reported that this disorder appears to be growing fast. And in about 10 years, it is raised by nearly 50 percent!
There’s a “broader recognition that in the lives of many pregnant women, the arrival of the condition is significant and its impact can be grave...” NYT says.
New York Times journalist, N.R. Kleinfeld explains, “not only does [gesttational diabetes] identify those women at particularly high risk to develop permanent diabetes, but it may contribute to their babies’ eventually getting diabetes as well.”
