Cancer, Gestational Diabetes and Obesity

Additional fat in the body may have destructive impacts, such as producing hormones and development factors can influence the way our cells work. Fat cells can also attract immune cells to body tissues which release chemicals that cause a long-term inflammation. Individuals with obesity have chronic low-level or subacute unresolved inflammations, which is related to expanded malignancy chance.

Gestational diabetes cause problems for your baby and you during pregnancy and after birth. But the risks can be reduced if the condition is detected early and well managed. Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar (glucose) that develops during pregnancy. It happens when your body cannot produce enough insulin – a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels – to meet your extra needs in pregnancy.
