LEARN ABOUT<br />
GESTATIONAL DIABETES<br />
Talk to your doctor when you become pregnant<br />
and think you might have gestational<br />
diabetes. If you don’t control gestational<br />
diabetes, your health, as well as your baby’s,<br />
is in jeopardy. Not only can you get<br />
proper medications from your doctor, but<br />
he can let you know what dietary concerns<br />
you should know about.<br />
5<br />
HAVE YOUR<br />
EYES CHECKED<br />
Make sure you speak with your doctor if<br />
you are having vision problems and are<br />
diabetic. Diabetes can lead to many eye<br />
problems, including diabetic retinopathy<br />
and glaucoma. Cataracts can also be an<br />
issue. It is important to have these problems<br />
taken care of because the worse case<br />
scenario is that it can cause blindness.<br />

AVOID UNHEALTHY SNACKS<br />
The chips and candy in a vending<br />
machine may seem to promise quick energy,<br />
but a diabetic should avoid these<br />
snacks. Keep these snacks out of your<br />
kitchen cupboard also. It’s crucial that you<br />
avoid these unhealthy snacks, and instead<br />
fill up on fruit and vegetables.<br />

BLOOD SUGAR SPIKES<br />
It is normal for your blood sugar<br />
level to spike in response to low glucose<br />
treatments. A high blood sugar level can<br />
be caused by two factors: hormones that<br />
stimulate the release of glucose into your<br />
bloodstream and the influx of glucose<br />
from your food. Together the two sources<br />
may overload your body with glucose.<br />
When it happens, reduce the amount you<br />
eat or drink by half and then recheck your<br />
levels 30 minutes later.<br />
