Diabetes is very common in our life, and it can happen to anyone, but research data show that pregnant women are more likely to develop diabetes? Then why is this? This article will briefly share this knowledge:

Usually, the mother's islets can secrete enough insulin (three times as much as before pregnancy) to counteract the effects of those elevated hormones in order to maintain normal blood sugar levels. However, if the islet fails to secrete enough insulin, the blood sugar level will rise, leading to gestational diabetes.

In addition, women will bring more changes to the body after pregnancy, including endocrine hormone changes, which can lead to insulin resistance, and the decline of insulin's role will cause abnormal blood sugar and lead to diabetes.

In addition, pregnant women may eat more and exercise less after pregnancy. Some pregnant women are worried about insufficient nutrition, but they don't like exercise after overeating, which leads to rapid weight gain, insulin resistance and diabetes.
