Is it true that diet isn't correlated to gestational diabetes? My sister in law is saying that super…

did she intake a lot of carbs?

I don't know, I'm not gonna ask. She is a heavier set woman though.

your current health doesn't dictate whether or not you get it, it's pregnancy induced, that's why fit healthy people can get GD and obese unhealthy people won't necessarily. you can control it with diet (all though not everyone can) because it is just like regular diabetes that way. some people are able to control it with diet, and some need injections. it is connected with how your body metabolisis the simple and compound sugars you injest.

Gotcha

sometimes pregnancy makes women insulin resistant. sometimes I'll have good days where my blood sugar stays in a normal range and other days where it's either really high or really low. I have pre existing diabetes and use an insulin pump. my diet is usually consistent because I carb count so it could just be pregnancy in general but I'm not an expert. diabetes and pregnancy is a whole new experience for me

@I ndigenousmommy, diet is related to everything your body does don't ask a doctor they study medicine they don't know ask a nutritionist. don't compare to say a skinny health person can get it and a fat person can't both 2 people have a different diet maybe a bad one maybe a good one. I'm just saying hope this info helps think back to thousands of years ago we didn't have artificial medicines like we do now it was from natural plant life which is exactly how it should still be today. Too bad we have a corrupt government.

It's also passed down by genetics. My grandma had it, mom had it for all her pregnancies, and my twin sister had it for her daughter. I will more than likely have it because it's genetic. Diet helps control it I think.

Pretty crazy.
