We are all aware of diabetes as a condition and the complications it can cause our bodies. This is all the more crucial for pregnant women. While most of us are aware of pregestational diabetes-a condition that is present before pregnancy, it is equally important to understand gestational diabetes-a condition that develops during the period of pregnancy. Over 50% of women with gestational diabetes develop Type 2 Diabetes at the later stages of pregnancy.
