Women At Risk For Developing Type II Diabetes After Developing Gestational Diabetes in Pregnancy

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy is an opportunity 15 to 60 percent of the development of non-insulin dependent (type II) after a pregnancy in a period 5 to 15 years. It is important to identify risk factors that lead to Type II diabetes because the disease has reached epidemic proportions. Participated from 1994 to 2002 doubled the incidence of gestational diabetes is now 7 percent of pregnancies. This has increased morbidity of mothers and newborns, including, but not limited to high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, placental abruption, maternal renal disease, increased susceptibility to premature birth, increased incidence of cesarean section, infection of the uterus, the bacteria in the blood, maternal mortality, fetal macrosomia (large baby) hypoglycemia of the child, premature lungs, even late in the third quarter, an increase of the risk or neonatal infection, hyperbilirubenemia stillbirths and perinatal mortality. Knowing the risk factors associated with a higher incidence of gestational diabetes, there is the hope to prevent them from reducing, called during or after pregnancy to the complications mentioned above in connection with the immediate problems of pregnancy diabetes. In patients with undiagnosed diabetes-insulin-dependent, there are a variety of complications and risk factors occur: increased risk of myocardial infarction, peripheral vascular, kidney, eye and neurological diseases such as myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, pain in the legs when walking (claudication, kidney failure, blindness, stroke, transient ischemic attack, loss of balance when walking and do not feel able to foot due to peripheral nerve lesions. Several studies show three factors that cause a higher risk for women who Type II diabetes developing after gestational diabetes during pregnancy: 1) body mass index (BMR)> 27 patients 4 to 8 times the chance of developing type II diabetes with a BMI greater than 27 to develop 2) gestational diabetes before 24 weeks gestation, the patient developed gestational diabetes, which had for 24 weeks, less frequently in type II diabetes. The fetal placenta is 3) use of insulin in the blood glucose control during pregnancy pregnancyInsulin service responsible for the abnormal glucose tolerance after 24 weeks: the mother has less capacity too little insulin in the production of stress (excessive sugar load, viral or bacterial infections, etc ..) It measures must be taken to prevent, reduce and / or treat each risk factor. In terms of prevention, reduction or treatment of a BMI greater than 27 requires a comprehensive approach, the psychological, environmental, nutrition and exercise. 1) Eat small amounts of calories is noted to increase longevity. As obesity leads to chronic diseases such as cancer, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes and arthritis. We must learn to eat frequent small meals. 5 to 7 small meals throughout the day metabolism 10 to 12 percent. The increase in the proportion of proteins and to reduce the amount of carbohydrates in the demand for insulin is reduced, it is necessary for the metabolism of sugars in the body. Patients need to cut the bread, pasta, and sweets. Patients need to increase the inclusion of fiber, brown rice, sweet potatoes, nuts, vegetables and starch, non-profit. 2) Exercise. There must be some form of exercise for 30 minutes to 1 hour per day. Swimming, hiking, biking, exercise bike, treadmill, weightlifting, rowing, stair climbing, etc., are examples of exercises that build muscles and help increase the absorption of sugar into the muscle which, in turn, demand for insulin resistance and reduced glucose . Increase in a book of the muscle leads to an increase of 50 calories burned per day. 3) added known to increase glucose utilization in the food. a. Cinnamonb. Bitter melonc. Cane Sugardas.

Gestational diabetes during pregnancy predicted a high incidence of diabetes type II development in the coming years. Do you know the risk factors that cause Type II diabetes to reduce gestational diabetes and ways to prevent or that occurs these factors affect to reduce the incidence of this disease.

All You Need To Know

Diabetes is a critical health care problem for many people throughout the world. It decreases quality of life and, in many cases, it can also shorten one’s life.The good news is that when you recognize the seriousness of being a diabetic and take constructive steps toward controlling it all of these things above decrease in importance.

Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism. The way our bodies use digested food for growth and energy. Diabetes is associated with long-term complications that affect almost every part of the body. Diabetes is widely recognized as one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States.

Conventional Medical Treatment

Insulin was the first, and remains the primary means of treatment for Type 1 diabetes and is administered by subcutaneous injection. This method is necessary since insulin is destroyed by gastric stomach secretions when it is taken by mouth. Insulin injections must be balanced with meals and daily activities, and glucose levels must be closely monitored through frequent blood sugar testing. Many diabetics need inject insulin only once a day; others require two or more injections. The usual time for a dose of insulin is before breakfast. The dosage is initially established according to the severity of the condition, but it often has to be reassessed as one or another of the variables in the person’s condition changes.

Medicines for Type2 Diabetes

Metformin this is often the first medicine that is advised for type 2 diabetes. It mainly works by reducing the amount of glucose that your liver releases into the bloodstream.

Sulphonylureas for example, glibelclamide, gliclazide, glimerpirizide, glipizide, gliquidone, increase the amount of insulin produced by your pancreas. They also make your body’s cells more sensitive to insulin so that more glucose is taken up from the blood.

Type 1 (Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus)

Type 1 diabetes is treated with intensive insulin therapy. This type of treatment is designed to achieve near-normal blood sugars safely – while keeping the episodes of low blood sugars (“insulin reactions”) to a minimum. Insulin therapy includes:

* Multiple Daily Injections of Insulin (Flexibility is important!). * Use of Insulin Pens or Pumps. * Use of new type of insulin: Lispro or Humlog (extremely fast-acting) – replaces regular insulin.

Diabetes Medications

Sulfonylureas: Glyburide (Micronase, Diabeta) and Glipizide (Glucotrol). Traditional medicines – cheap, easy to take, work well with many people. Stimulates insulin secretion from the pancreas. Problems: Doesn’t always achieve normal blood sugars and may cause low blood sugars. Metformin (Glucophage): Used in Europe for many years. Decreases sugar production by the liver, which contributes to elevated blood sugar levels. Works well with insulin. Problems: Causes gastro-intestinal upset in some, and cannot be used if you have serious heart or kidney problems.

People with diabetes will experience many long-term and serious complications. These complications will affect virtually every part of the body from the feet and legs to the internal organs.

Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or use insulin properly therefore it is up to you and your doctor to learn how to manipulate the functions of your body properly to offset or minimize the complications of uncontrolled diabetes. With proper control you can still live a healthy and long life but it helps to be a fanatic about controlling your diabetes.
