The Connection Between Gestational Diabetes and a Lack of Sleep
The causes of gestational diabetes
Much is known about the treatment methods for gestational diabetes, but not much is known about its causes. Other than the hormone imbalances associated with pregnancy, not many other conclusions were drawn as to how gestational diabetes occurs. As a result of this absence of knowledge, a team of researchers joined together to try to find a solution. In fact, “the team also gathered data from the authors of four additional studies which measured the blood sugar levels and sleep duration objectively in 287 pregnant women with gestational diabetes.”
But, still, more research needs to be done to find out more about the risk factors associated with gestational diabetes in order to try and prevent it from developing.
