What Makes Gestational Diabetes Proceed into Type 2 Diabetes?

9/17/2019

 
Gestational diabetes becomes type 2 diabetes in new moms sometimes
Once at Risk, Always at Risk of Diabetes
Delivering a child and recovering from its effects are treated as a rebirth for women. Pregnancy brings about joy and happiness but also a sense of anxiety in the mom-to-be as she starts to fervently wish for a safe delivery and a healthy infant. Some start feeling hungrier, wish to eat all sorts of food available and still there are many who practice the age-old concept of ‘eat for two’. Insulin secretion and sensitivity increase which thereby increase the amount of maternal fat and glycogen storage. More than external factors there are various factors from within the woman such as the placental hormones that serve as insulin antagonists. Normally, a pregnant woman undergoes increase in insulin secretion to overcome insulin resistance but sometimes, the pregnant women becomes unable to regulate insulin secretions and starts showing signs of gestational diabetes.
​
Forerunner to Type 2 Diabetes
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a sign of glucose intolerance that’s exposed initially during pregnancy which occurs in almost 7% of pregnant women. This phase is temporary in most pregnant women and glucose levels stay balanced after delivery negating any need for diabetes medications. But suffering from gestational diabetes during pregnancy exists as a significant risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes later in life. This is a clearly evident result of a study involving more than 800 participants who were diagnosed with gestational diabetes between 1996 and 2003. It showed that almost 12.5% women developed type 2 diabetes within two months of delivery and during the next ten years the number of women who were classified as diabetics steadily increased at the rate of 6.8% per year.
​
This study included a thorough research on Asian women and came to the conclusion that almost 50% of Asian women with gestational diabetes were at a risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the next eight years of childbirth. The research team followed up on 370 participants for more than a year after childbirth. 105 of them developed type 2 diabetes within two months of childbirth and the rest were unable to participate in the follow up study. Women either developed diabetes within two months or took a significant amount of time (a year or so) to become a diabetic. When analyzing for the difference in duration before developing diabetes they came with the reason that defect in insulin secretion was the primary reason for developing diabetes early during postpartum period. These women also displayed a variation in the HHEX gene that’s majorly associated with Type 2 diabetes.
Whereas, women who showed a slower ability to become glucose intolerant showed changes in the CDKAL1 gene that’s also associated with type 2 diabetes.

Risk Factors for Gestational Diabetes Progressing into Type 2 Diabetes
  1. Higher the glucose value during pregnancy greater are the chances of gestational diabetes progressing into type 2 diabetes later
  2. Gestational age-pregnant women who are diagnosed with GDM even before the onset of insulin resistance are likelier to be affected
  3. Family history does not play a major role in impacting the progress of GDM into Type 2 diabetes
  4. Post-pregnancy weight plays a strong role in progression from GDM to type 2 diabetes
  5. Conceiving for a second time again can put you at a greater risk for gestational diabetes which has a higher risk for progressing into type 2 diabetes later

Those women who suffered from gestational diabetes are advised to get their glucose levels checked every two months after childbirth up to at least one year and henceforth, go for an annual checkup thereon. Meanwhile, it is the duty of every mother to protect herself from succumbing into type diabetes by following a healthy lifestyle, eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly. Nutritionists and dietitians at www.firsteatright.com can help you with the necessary diet changes and eating habits to stave off risk factors of diabetes as much as possible. When type 2 diabetes is left untreated it poses high risks for the child to develop congenital disorders later in life.
