Gestational Diabetes Support Group

The gestational diabetes support group and health community is for women diagnosed with diabetes during pregnancy. Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose or sugar levels are too high. When you are pregnant, too much glucose is not good for your baby. Out of every one hundred pregnant women in the United States get gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is diabetes that happens for the first time when a woman is pregnant. Gestational diabetes goes away when you have your baby, but it does increase your risk for having diabetes later in life. If you have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes or if you have previously experienced this condition, this support group is for you. The FacetoFace Health Gestational Diabetes Support Group was created to provide pregnant women a secure place to ask other women about their first hand experiences dealing with and managing diabetes during pregnancy.
