Diabetes Is not a disease it is a disorder, it just needs proper care &
attention!
A serious, life-long disorder and should not be ignored, if not
prevented at the right time can lead to other severe complications. About one-third
of the people do not know they have diabetes and are not under medical care.

Have had gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
Have given birth to a baby that weighted more than 9 lbs.

Know about Diabetes :
Diabetes is a most common disorder, Diabetes occurs when the body fails to process sugar correctly. If left untreated can cause to many other serious problems.
Type I -
Diabetes Type I most often occurs before age 30, but may strike at any age. In this type of diabetes there is a deficiency of insulin in the body. Only treatment is insulin and regular follow up.

Gestational Diabetes: -
Gestational diabetes (GD) affects about 4 percent of all pregnant women. It usually appears during the second trimester and disappears after the birth of the baby. When GD is not controlled, complications can affects both you and your baby. We can help you work out a diet and exercise plan, and possibly medication. Having GD increases your risk for developing it again during future pregnancies and also raises your risk of Type II diabetes later in life.
Blood sugar levels and their meaning:
According to American Diabetic Association (2007) Guidelines
[I] Fasting -
i.e. blood sugar levels empty stomach
110 mg% : implies normal individual with no immediate risk.
110-126% impaired fasting glucose which implies that though the person is not diabetic right but there is a risk of getting diabetes later on specially in presence of other comorbid conditions like obesity and diabetes.
[II] PP ( Post Prandial) -
i.e. blood sugar levels done 1 and a half hours after meals.
140 mg% : normal value
140-200 mg% : impaired glucose tolerance. Though the person is not diabetic right now but there is a risk of getting diabetes later on specially in presence of other comorbid conditions like obesity and diabetes.
200 mg% : patient is a diabetic.
