Definition of Diabetes
Diabetes is a syndrome characterized by metabolic disorder, decreased sensitivity of the tissues to the direction of insulin, or an abnormal rise in blood sugar due to lack of insulin hormone or both.
Diabetes can lead to serious complications for the person, so the person may die and die prematurely, so the diabetic should take many steps to control diabetes and reduce the risk and complications that may occur in the patient suddenly.
The bodies of people with diabetes often have a problem of not converting food into energy, which is called metabolism. After eating, the meal is broken down into the glucose that the blood transfers to all the cells that make up the body. To insulin because it allows glucose to enter the medium between cells and into cells, and because of diabetes, glucose is not converted to energy, resulting in the presence of large amounts of glucose in the blood with the survival of cells need energy, which leads with the War time to the evolution of the situation to become a high blood sugar, and therefore the patient occurrence of serious injuries in the nerves may be exposed, and blood vessels, and thus the incidence of heart disease, kidney disease, and strokes, as well as infections of gum and diabetic foot.
During pregnancy, many women suffer from diabetes, and diabetes, which affects pregnant women during pregnancy, is a disease that can be cured permanently with the accurate follow-up of the condition during pregnancy. In turn, gestational diabetes may affect maternal health Or may affect the health of the fetus despite the incidence of the injury of time and that it is not permanent, and affects diabetes in pregnancy on the health of the fetus in terms of increasing the weight of the fetus at birth, and inflation, and the incidence of diseases and malformations of the heart and the central nervous system, and deformities in the structural system.
The normal level of diabetes in the body of a pregnant woman should be 60 to 80 mg / dl and after breakfast two hours less than 120 mg / dl, and because of some physiological changes in pregnant women lead to lower blood sugar than it was before pregnancy.
Pregnant women are born in the 38th month in order to avoid and avoid an enlarged fetus. Birth is performed under the supervision of the obstetrician and neonatal specialists to follow up on the condition and health of the newborn and to provide him with the necessary care to avoid any complications that may cause the death of the fetus.
The mother after birth must follow the treatment of diabetes and follow some tips such as exercise, diet, and stay away from smoking because it works to resist insulin.
