Diabetes in pregnancy is going to become a more common problem each year.  Between now and 2030, the incidence of diabetes is expected to rise from 20.9 million to 30.3 million people.  Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the USA currently.

Complications of diabetes include:  stroke, retinopathy (retinal damage leading to blindness), heart disease, kidney/renal disease, peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage in the hands/feet), and more specific to my field-- Birth Defects.  It has been proven in MANY large studies that strict control of blood sugars can prevent or slow progression of diabetes complications and birth defects.

Disturbance in blood sugar levels has been associated with increased rates of stillbirth, newborn deaths, abnormal newborn weights (either low weight or large weights), and a 3-4 risk of malformations.  Birth defects occur in 6-10% of newborns born to diabetic mothers (baseline risk is 3% in healthy females).  In 2010, 8,000 babies were born with birth defects caused by diabetes.   Maternal diabetes increased neural tube defect (such as spina bifida) rates by more the 20 fold.

How can patients at risk prevent diabetes complications:  1) Keep blood sugar levels at as close to normal as possible  2) Maintain a healthy body weight  3) Keep blood pressure at <120/80 mmHg with medication, diet, and exercise.

Both injections of insulin and oral medications for diabetes are effective in preventing pregnancy complications.

When is the best time to achieve control of diabetes -- BEFORE pregnancy.  If you think you may be at risk of diabetes (which is often assymptomatic), get tested before becoming pregnant.  Controlling blood sugars before pregnancy prevents diabetes-associated birth defects.  Using vitamins/antioxidants (folic acid) before becoming pregnancy helps decrease the risk BUT does not prevent damage done by abnormal sugar/glucose levels.

Please be screened for diabetes before pregnancy.  You will be screened during the third trimester of pregnancy, but it may be too late if you have undiagnosed diabetes before conception.

  1. There are some natural remedies that can be used in the prevention and eliminate diabetes totally. However, the single most important aspect of a diabetes control plan is adopting a wholesome life style Inner Peace, Nutritious and Healthy Diet, and Regular Physical Exercise. A state of inner peace and self-contentment is essential to enjoying a good physical health and over all well-being. The inner peace and self contentment is a just a state of mind.People with diabetes diseases often use complementary and alternative medicine. I diagnosed diabetes in 2000.

  2. I'm 57 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 57 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of  Dr Akhigbe   total cure herbal medicine. my husband saw his testimony on the internet he used his powerful medicine to cured different diseases. we contacted his email   [drrealakhigbe@gmail.com}   He has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and others diseases, will cure you totally and permanently with his natural organic herbs,We received the medicine through courier delivery service.
