Frequently Asked Questions
5. Is there a type of diabetes that is
associated with pregnancy?
Yes, gestational diabetes. It typically occurs during the later
stages of pregnancy. Although this form of diabetes usually goes
away after the baby is born, a woman who has had gestational
diabetes and her child have a lifelong risk of developing diabetes.
Gestational diabetes is caused by the hormones of pregnancy or a
shortage of insulin.
