Gestational Diabetes: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatments

Overweight

Overweight is also another major cause of gestational diabetes. When an individual is said to be overweight, it means that the individual has excess body fats in their body than what is required or optimally normal. You find that it can happen to pregnant women, especially to those who restrict themselves from performing exercises. When a pregnant woman has excess fats, you realize that the levels of insulin get low and can’t control the sugars converted from the excess fats, which results in gestational diabetes. [2]
