Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes in which a woman's body is unable to produce enough insulin during pregnancy. Insulin is the hormone that is produced by the pancreas which regulates the blood sugar level and this energy is used by our body for many functions.

So far, no research has told with certainty why pregnant women get gestational diabetes, but it is believed that hormonal changes occur at a large level during pregnancy, due to which blood sugar is not processed effectively. As a result, the glucose level increases.
Women who have gestational diabetes during pregnancy usually return to normal after delivery, but the mother is at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes can be controlled through healthy food, exercise, and medicines.
