WHAT CAUSES GESTATIONAL DIABETES

During pregnancy, your body makes more hormones and goes through other changes such as weight gain. These changes cause the body’s cells to use insulin less effectively, a condition called insulin resistance. 
All pregnant women have insulin resistance during pregnancy and some women have insulin resistance before they get pregnant. They start pregnancy with an increased need for insulin and are more likely to have gestational diabetes.
