Gestational Diabetes – Symptoms Of Diabetes – 10th Edition
There are three main types of diabetes. The third type, Gestational Diabetes, is the type that affects expecting women. The estimation is that 4% of all pregnant women have this type of diabetes and a third of them are not even aware that they have it.
As diabetes is potentially dangerous to the mother and the infant, it is essential for it to be diagnosed as soon as possible.
One of the symptoms of diabetes in pregnant women is tiredness and fatigue. This may just be one of the pregnancy effects, but if it happens along with other symptoms of diabetes such as increased thirst and having a blurred vision, it could mean more.
Other symptoms of diabetes are the need to urinate more often than usual, vomiting and nausea. Again, these are still among the potential effects of pregnancy but also pose a sign for diabetes.
Pregnant women could also get an appetite boost during their pregnancy and they could have infections in their skin, bladder and vagina. The increase in appetite is yet another warning signal of pregnancy but the frequent infections is more commonly identified with the symptoms of diabetes.
