The main reason for the rise in blood sugar is the absence, deficiency or ineffectiveness of the insulin hormone in the body. In healthy individuals, blood sugar is balanced by the hormone insulin. However, in pregnant women with diabetes or expectant mothers with gestational diabetes, blood sugar rises because the body cannot secrete enough insulin hormone or because the secreted insulin hormone does not have a sufficient effect on the body’s use of sugar in the blood. Therefore, you should not exaggerate your sweet consumption. You should not pay attention to the words “You are two people, eat”, you should prefer milk desserts and ice cream.
