What are the effects of pregnancy on diabetes?

Pregnancy can make occult diabetes explicit, causing GDM to occur in pregnant women who have not had diabetes before, and aggravating the condition of patients with pre-existing diabetes.

Fasting blood glucose is low during the first trimester, and some women taking insulin** may experience hypoglycemia if their insulin dose is not adjusted in a timely manner. As pregnancy progresses, the anti-islet cord-like substance increases, and the insulin dose needs to be increased. During childbirth, physical exertion is greater, the amount of food eaten is small, and if the insulin dose is not reduced in time, hypoglycemia is prone to occur.

After the placenta is excreted, the anti-insulin substances secreted by the placenta disappear rapidly, and the amount of insulin should be reduced immediately. Due to the complex changes in glucose metabolism during pregnancy, if the insulin dosage is not adjusted in time, some patients may have low or high blood glucose, and in severe cases, even hypoglycemic coma and ketoacidosis.
