is it normal to get diabetes due to multiple pregnancy?

Question

Why do I need to get tested for diabetes in pregnancy?

Answer 1

No: It is not normal to get diabetes from multiple pregnancies. Pregnancy does not cause diabetes unless you become progressively obese after the pregnancies. Obesity is the number one cause of type 2 diabetes.

Answer 2

Not uncommon: It's never 'normal' to have diabetes, but gestational diabetes with multiples is not uncommon.

Answer 3

It varies: It can take weeks to months, but you may be able to get pregnant again before your next period comes, so be careful or have fun depending....

Answer 4

Everything as usual: Make sure you are doing more for your oral hygiene, and stay up on your dental work so that you do not have avoidable dental concerns along the way. A good cleaning is important to get you started. Congrats with the new baby.

Answer 5

Many things: Most dental issues related to pregnancy deal with gum problems. However, the dentist should evaluate your dental needs as normally. He will look for cavities, TMJ issues, oral cancer screen, gum tissues...Etc. Make sure the dentist uses a lead apron with a thyroid collar if x-rays are necessary. The important issue is that some dental diseases may affect the health of the fetus.

Answer 6

Cataracts&RETINITIS: Patients with diabetes need regular yearly eye exam to have retinal exam and check for glaucoma and cataract.

Answer 7

Not Likely: Tubal ligations are not 100% effective. If the tubal ligation was done at delivery it may be a little less effective. Never say never in medicine. I have a patient who became pregnant many years after her tubal ligation. It is always a possibility although not as likely.Tubal ligations are generally 99% effective.

Answer 8

Tubal reconnection?: There are ways to re-connect the fallopian tubes if they have not been injured so severely. Obtain a operative report from the previous surgery and take to a gyn md who performs the tubal reanastomosis procedure and they can give you an opinion as to whether it is feasible or not.

Answer 9

No: I am a medical doctor a would have to say no. All the studies i know about tell me that western medicine works for diabetes. I don't know anything about chinese herbal medicine.

Answer 10

Can try both : First, to some degree this depends on what type/degree of diabetes you have- if you are Insulin dependent please do not forego insulin! if you have type 2 (adult onset) you may benefit from chinese as well as western herbal medicine, as many herbs & nutrients have been proven to have benefits in treating diabetes. But it is not either/or- you can do herbs while using western medicine. See comment:.
