Number of women with gestational diabetes who gave birth in Northern Ireland rises by almost 30% in four years
The number of women with gestational diabetes who have given birth in Northern Ireland has risen by almost 30% over the last four years.
Gestational diabetes happens when a woman's body cannot produce enough insulin, a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels, to meet her extra needs in pregnancy. Rosaleen was able to control her gestational diabetes in her first pregnancy with diet control but the second time around she was diagnosed earlier and put on insulin as "diet control wasn't going to work for the duration of the pregnancy".Rosaleen said no matter what you do gestational diabetes "is out of your control" and takes a lot out of you
"You're monitoring your blood sugars all the time, you're monitoring what you're eating, you're monitoring the time you can eat."It's very hard to be structured like that so that adds an extra anxiety and extra stress during pregnancy."
