Diagnostic tests detect inappropriately high levels of glucose in blood samples. Gestational diabetes affects 3-10% of pregnancies‚ depending on the population studied.[2] No specific cause has been identified‚ but it is believed that the hormones produced during pregnancy increase a woman’s resistance to insulin‚ resulting in impaired glucose tolerance

These include frequent urination (polyuria)‚ excessive thirst (polydipsia)‚ and excessive hunger (polyphagia). Other signs include excess glucose in the blood due to the body not being able to process all the extra glucose that is being left from the inability to use the insulin properly. This high sugar level can cause fatigue‚ blurred vision‚ abdominal pain‚ and headaches. It also causes the body to need more water to return

Basic Mechanism An autoimmune disease occurs when the body produces an abnormal immune response against self antigens. It is caused by failure of the tolerance processes to protect the host from the action of self reactive lymphocytes. An organ-specific autoimmune disease involves gradual damage to cellular structures and is replaced by the compensating connective tissue which depletes the function of the gland/organ. Type 1 diabetes (TD1)‚ is an organ specific autoimmune disease characterize
Premium Immune system Insulin Diabetes mellitus
the American Diabetes Association‚ diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels that result from defects in the body ’s ability to produce and/or use insulin. Glucose is a sugar that is the body ’s main source of energy. When you eat‚ glucose from your food gets into your bloodstream. Your pancreas digests the food and makes a hormone called insulin. Insulin helps glucose get into your body ’s cells and that is how your body gets the energy it needs. b. Different
