It can also cause a mother\u2019s blood sugars to be very high and the baby\u2019s blood sugars to be very low. \u201cIf you\u2019re a diabetic during pregnancy, your blood sugars are uncontrolled. All that blood sugar is going to cross the placenta, go to the baby, the baby is going to create more insulin,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Gestational diabetes can also put mothers at risk for developing diabetes later in life.  \u201cThe older you get, your body is naturally going to have elevated blood sugars so are we catching these patients five years before they actually become diabetic outside of pregnancy,\u201d said Dr. Chokshi. <\/p>\n<p>During pregnancy, doctors encourage mothers to maintain a nutritious and well-balanced diet.  \u201cDefinitely don\u2019t need to eat for two people because that\u2019s asking for trouble,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>If caught early, gestational diabetes can be controlled with diet and medication, if necessary. Early detection and a healthy, active pregnancy are important for the mother and baby.<\/p>\n<p>View More Health Matters video segments at LeeHealth.org\/Healthmatters\/<\/p>\n<p>Lee Health in Fort Myers, FL is the largest network of health care facilities in Southwest Florida and is highly respected for its expertise, innovation and quality of care.
