Taking care of yourself when you have gestational diabetes is very much like taking care of yourself when you have other types of diabetes. But it can be a little scary when you’re pregnant and you also have a new condition to take care of. Don’t worry. Many women who’ve had gestational diabetes have gone on to have healthy babies.

Here are the things you’ll need to do:

Follow your meal plan — You will meet with a dietitian or diabetes educator who will help you design a meal plan full of healthy foods for you and your baby. You will be advised to limit sweets, eat often — three small meals and one to three snacks every day, be careful about the carbohydrates you eat – your meal plan will tell you when to eat carbohydrates and how much to eat at each meal and snack, and eat lots of whole grain foods, fruits, and vegetables

Get moving — try to be active for at least 30 minutes on most days. If you’re already active, your doctor can help you make an exercise plan for your pregnancy. If you haven’t been active in the past, talk to your doctor. Your doctor can suggest activities, such as swimming or walking, to help keep your blood sugar on track.

Test your blood sugar — Your doctor may ask you to use a small device called a blood glucose meter to check your blood sugar levels. You will be shown how to use the meter to check your blood sugar. Your diabetes team will tell you what your target blood sugar range is, how often you need to check your blood sugar, and what to do if it is not where it should be.

The following chart shows blood sugar targets for most women with gestational diabetes. Talk with your health care team about whether these targets are right for you.

Blood glucose targets for most women with gestational diabetes:

On awakening not above 95 mg/dL
1 hour after a meal not above 140 mg/dL
2 hours after a meal not above 120 mg/dL

Each time you check your blood sugar, write down the results in a record book. Take the book with you when you visit your health care team. If your results are often out of range, your health care team will suggest ways you can reach your targets.

Take your diabetes medicine exactly as your doctor tells you. You may need to take insulin to keep your blood sugar at the right level. If so, your health care team will show you how to give yourself insulin. Insulin will not harm your baby — it cannot move from your bloodstream to your baby’s.

Foods rich in cocoa appear to reduce blood pressure but drinking green and black tea may not, according to an analysis of previously published research in the Archives of Internal Medicine, published by the American Medical Association.

The drop in blood pressure among participants who consumed cocoa products for at least two weeks was in the same range as achieved by someone taking drugs commonly prescribed to control high blood pressure.

Both cocoa and tea contain polyphenols, a class of chemicals known to help prevent cardiovascular disease that are present in most fruits and vegetables. But cocoa has a different type than tea — procyanids — that appear to be more active.

Treats such as dark chocolate might be substituted for other high-calorie desserts, based on the study’s findings, but “we believe that any dietary advice must account for the high sugar, fat and calorie intake with most cocoa products.

Bed wetting, is the involuntary voiding of urine during sleep, with a severity of at least 3 times a week in children over the age of 5. A mentally handicapped child is generally expected to become dry at night when he or she reaches the mental age of four. It is estimated that more than 5 million children in the US experience nocturnal enuresis.

One of the most difficult aspects of bed wetting is its effect on children and their families. The greatest impact is on the child’s self-esteem. Bedwetting is often a source of great embarrassment for the child causing him or her to refrain from certain age-appropriate activities such as a sleep-over for fear of a bedwetting accident. Bed wetting can have an effect on school performance and later sexual activity as a result of the low self-esteem bedwetting can cause. Often parents become frustrated with continued bedwetting as it is a drain of time, energy, and money with constant cleaning and bed changing. Sometimes bedwetting can be a source of embarrassment for the parents who may view the problem as a result of bad parenting or a mischievous child, neither of which are true. It is crucial to remember that bedwetting happens to MILLIONS of children and that bed wetting is not the fault of the child or the parent.

Ages 1-2: The child has a conscious sensation of the bladder filling with urine.

Ages 2-3: The ability to urinate or to voluntarily stop urinating develops and children begin to learn the etiquette surrounding urination.

Ages 3-4: Most children by the age of the 4 have achieved urinary control and are dry both day and night.

Causes

Many causes of nocturnal enuresis (bed wetting) exist. Bedwetting is not a result of laziness or disobedience on the behalf of the child. Bedwetting is caused by many factors.

Bedwetting has been found to be genetically linked. One study has shown that a child of two bedwetting parents has a 77% chance of becoming a bedwetter. When one parent wet the bed as a child, his son or daughter was found to have a 44% chance of becoming a bedwetter. While little scientific support exists, many hold the “deep-sleep” theory which blames the exceptionally deep sleep some children experience as the cause of wetting the bed. Because a child is so deep in sleep, his brain and body ignore the signals of a full bladder.

Another cause cited for primary bed wetting is a “smaller” bladder. This does not mean, however, that the physical size of the bladder is smaller for bedwetting children than for their peers. Instead it means that their Functional Bladder Capacity (FBC) -the amount of urine the bladder will hold until sending a signal to the brain indicating it is time to urinate- is a smaller volume than that of their peers.

Another cause of bedwetting has to do with ADH or anti-diuretic hormone. ADH is a signaling hormone which tells the kidney to decrease the amount of urine produced. Normally the body produces more ADH at night causing the kidneys to produce less urine. Decreased urine production at night allows an individual to sleep through the night without having to urinate. Some people do not produce more of this hormone at night, as they are supposed to, and therefore produce a large amount of urine at night. In similar cases, the body produces ADH but the kidneys do not respond and continue to produce the same amount of urine.
