increased appetite;
strong thirst;
frequent urge to urinate;
weakness;
increase of pressure.

These symptoms occur in almost everypregnant, so over time she simply stops noticing them. That is why it is so important to regularly take all the tests prescribed by the doctor. Women who fall into the risk group should be especially attentive. This includes women with obesity, with polycystic ovary syndrome, those who suffered from high sugar during a previous pregnancy, and those whose close relatives are sick with diabetes. But the least at risk of diabetes during pregnancy are girls under 25 with normal weight, whose pregnancy is proceeding without complications. Regular visits to the doctor who is monitoring the pregnancy and a healthy lifestyle - this is what can protect a woman from diabetes during pregnancy. Even if the sugar level rises, the doctor will take all necessary measures to ensure that this does not cause serious consequences.
