Moreover, the damage is life long and it cannot be clear. This may attack through environmental reasons and genetic.
Type 2
Type 2 diabetes begins with insulin resistance. This means that your body cannot use insulin effectively. This will stimulate your pancreas to generate more insulin until it cannot keep up with the demand. Insulin production is reduced, leading to high blood sugar.

Gestational Diabetes (GDM)
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a type of diabetes that occurs during pregnancy and is related to complications in the mother and fetus. Gestational diabetes takes place due to insufficient body production of insulin necessary for pregnancy. Therefore, glucose builds up to high levels in the blood, causing hyperglycaemia. Gestational diabetes occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy, and the baby's body has been designed not to cause birth defects.
