hi guys I’m going to talk about why

women get diabetes during pregnancy okay

this is called gestational diabetes what

happens late in pregnancy there’s a lot

of stress going on you’re gonna get a

spike in something called cortisol

that’s the adrenal stress hormone and

other hormones too which then will

release protein which converted to sugar

and spike insulin which leads to insulin

resistance okay so that’s really a

situation insulin resistance is really a

pre-diabetes situation but when it

becomes worse or more chronic develops

into diabetes so this is the mechanism

it goes from cortisol then right to

insulin resistance okay now if you take

a woman whose insulin resistant and she

becomes pregnant it can worsen that and

flip right into a full-blown diabetes

because of the stress that happens

during pregnancy now my advice to you is

before you become pregnant make sure you

don’t have insulin resistance and if you

do get it fixed it’s not hard to fix

that I have a lot of videos on that you

can do a search on that but instant

resistance will set you up for a

diabetic situation while you’re going

through this additional stress and if

you have any adrenal issues let’s say

you’re stressed out and you’re not

sleeping and then you become pregnant it

just puts a lot of stress on your body

so do whatever you can to get as super

healthy as possible before you get

pregnant all right thanks for watching
