Gestational diabetes causes excessive blood sugar levels during pregnancy. This medical condition starts between weeks 24 and 28 of pregnancy and seems similar to type 2 diabetes.

Although gestational diabetes often disappears after the baby’s birth, there is a possibility that type 2 diabetes will occur later in life. Diets for both types of diabetes sufferers are similar. Monitoring carbohydrate intake becomes an integral part of daily nutritional habits.

During digestion food is metabolized and carbohydrates turn into glucose (simple sugars). Simple sugars reach the cells where insulin assists in converting them to energy. During pregnancy, other hormones in the body cause gestational diabetes to make the body insulin resistant.

It’s well-known since a long time that the obesity and the overweight are diseases that cause the type 2 diabetes. In fact, the cases of type 2 diabetes are increased with the increment of the obesity and of the overweight and for that the UE (European Union) has coined a new word to describe the straight relation between two diseases: “diabesity”.

The american scientist J. Freidman (molecular geneticist) has discovered a hormone – the leptina – which, produced from adipose tissue, it would pass to the brain the hunger sensation and the gene’s mutation of the obesity would provoke an insatiable hunger carrying to the overweight.
