If planning to get pregnant, you have to start thinking about your health and your way of life, so that the pregnancy would go by in a healthy manner. If you wish for the best conditions, for you and your baby, it is important to eat right, and in right amounts. After getting pregnant it is recommended to register yourself in a maternity clinic (sometimes called the maternity ward).
Every year up to 5,000 women in Sweden are registered with Gestational Diabetes. The disease means that the mother has a high content of sugar in her blood, which sometimes can affect both her and her baby’s health. Gestational Diabetes is a relatively rare disease. It is caused by the body’s insulin production, which is not always adequate, if two or more organisms have to share the mothers insulin. Since Gestational Diabetes is accompanied by many risks, it is important to cure it as fast as possible.
There are three ways to treat Gestational Diabetes. You can lower your blood sugar level by changing your lifestyle by eating right and exercising, you can get treatment with drugs, and you can get naturally balanced medical nutrition therapy in order to stabilize blood sugar, so that both you and the baby retain optimum health.
