Diabetes & Pregnancy

"...How can diabetes affect my health?
Controlling blood sugar is hard, especially during pregnancy, but it is important work at it. When blood sugar is high most of the time in a woman with diabetes, she might have certain health problems.

A woman with gestational diabetes whose blood sugar stays high has an increased chance of:

Preeclampsia (high blood pressure, protein in urine, increased swelling)
Preterm birth (baby born before 37 weeks)
C-section.."
