Research has proven that screening for diabetes should be done very early

THE gestational diabetes is a dangerous disorder of a woman’s metabolism, which can cause complications pregnancy. A recent research proves that the EXAMINING for an increased percentage of blood sugar should be done very early in pregnancy and not between the 24th and 28th week, as it has been until now.

the CAUSE in this specific type of diabetes found in the function of the placenta and especially in the secretion of a hormone that prevents the proper action of insulin in the body, as a result of which the level of glucose in the pregnant woman remains tall. In most countries of the world glucose tolerance test done after the second trimester of pregnancy, but 28 academics from 13 countries called for it to be changed immediately and the test to be implemented before the first 14 weeks.

According to three scientific publications in prestigious journals Lancetcareful study of the data obtained from surveys carried out on the subject so far, shows that many women have increases the concentration of glucose in the blood during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, which means that the figure of 10% of women who develop gestational diabetes is probably inaccurate. In these cases, women must face complication and other problems in their pregnancy, which could have been avoided if the glucose tolerance test had been done earlier.

Western Sydney University’s Professor David Simmons, who led the research, highlighted its importance Renewal in pregnancy tests, so that prevention helps pregnant women and fetuses, which may appear, due to diabetes, from macrosomia to perinatal asphyxia. The same opinion is shared, according to The Guardian, by Dr. Lucy Chambers, head of research at Diabetes UK, discusses this very serious disease across the population.
