When a person is diagnosed with diabetes, it means that their blood cannot process glucose, or sugar, properly, leading to spikes in blood sugar. Type 2 diabetes occurs when a person’s body becomes resistant to insulin, the hormone that normally brings glucose to the body’s cells. During pregnancy, some women develop gestational diabetes, where hormones from the placenta disturb the body’s ability to respond to insulin. Diabetics can attempt to control their disease by making changes to their diet.
