The human body mainly regulates blood sugar through the pancreas in the digestive system. If there is a problem with the function of the pancreas, blood sugar will rise abnormally and develop into diabetes.

If it is not treated, it will cause kidney disease, retinopathy, cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, etc. If it is combined with pregnancy, the pregnant woman's body will be "overloaded". Li Yingtao said that due to the growth of the fetus, the placenta will secrete a series of hormones that antagonize insulin, which will overload the mother's pancreatic function and cause abnormal increase in blood sugar, which will then cause gestational diabetes.
