Preventing gestational diabetes thanks to knowledge of your DNA

Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes in which a high blood sugar level develops, usually temporarily. This form of diabetes often only develops after the 24th week of pregnancy. During pregnancy it is normal for the body to produce extra insulin, but in a person with gestational diabetes this does not happen, or only to an insufficient extent. As a result, the foetus can be much larger than normal, which can lead to complications during childbirth.

Gestational diabetes and heredity

The risk of gestational diabetes is determined to some extent by hereditary factors. To date it has been scientifically proven that a number of genes play a role in this. On the basis of your DNA it is therefore possible to see clearly whether you have an increased or reduced risk of gestational diabetes.
