Gestational diabetes affects 5 percent to 7 percent of pregnant women, or about 150,000-200,000 women each year. It is the most common health problem seen in pregnancy. The good news is treatment can keep both mom and baby healthy.
What is gestational diabetes? It is a type of diabetes that occurs only in pregnancy. In gestational diabetes, the mother has difficulty making enough insulin, which can lead to high blood sugars. Women are generally screened for it between the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy.
