Then borderline gestational diabetes cause stillbirth? I am so scared because I do not know if the limit of gestational diabetes is the same as gestational diabetes. I'm due in 2 weeks and 5 days.
If you are borderline that means you're a better boat and those with GD blossomed. They have perfectly healthy babies and you too. No worries, you and your baby will be beautiful. Keep a balanced diet, you're almost there! Good luck and congratulations.
Many women who have gestational diabetes have healthy babies! Try to relax and maintain a very healthy diet until the birth. The biggest complication of gestational diabetes is that women tend to have more than normal babies. Just breathe ... I think your baby is well! Congratulations
Hello,
Borderline means that the person is barely enough to have symptoms to be diagnosed with the disease.
So would the boarderline GD less severe forms of gestational diabetes is possible. It could be that the person does not suffer from diabetes at all.
It's like telling a person with a determination of HbA1c over 7.5 has diabetes. Thus, a person with a score of 7.4 or 7.3 would be borderline, or sometimes called pre-diabetic.
Anyway - even having diabetes does not mean that you are at high risk of having a stillborn child. GD means that after pregnancy, many times the diabetes goes away until you get pregnant, or you get many more years, and are at increased risk of diabetes is after the age of 35.
There are a couple of great books out there, and the doctor has spent his life dealing with diabetes, and wrote some of his knowledge in book form. It shows how his diet has changed her patients.
Dr. Barnard's program for reversing diabetes.
The pH Miracle for Diabetes, by Dr. Young.
Mr. Young suggested that insulin is more effective when you are more alkaline. If your body is too acidic, then it is an increased risk of diabetes, cancer and other problems. Mr. Young suggested that weight loss may occur after you are also less acidic.
Good luck and stop worrying about everything, everything will be fine, just like thousands of mothers who have babies each week. Dozens of having children who are diabetic when they give birth and raise children.
