Gestational Diabetes – 3
Narrator: This is NIH Health Matters. I’m Joe Balintfy. Diabetes is a serious disease that, if left untreated, can lead to complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, blindness and amputation. Gestational diabetes is a kind of diabetes that affects pregnant women. Dr. Griffin Rodgers at the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases says…
Rodgers: In addition to regular screening for diabetes, women with a history of gestational diabetes can do a lot to prevent or delay their risk of developing diabetes after having their baby.
Narrator: He recommends maintaining a healthy weight by making healthy food choices and being active for at least 30 minutes, five days a week. For more tips, visit www.YourDiabetesInfo.org. Health Matters is produced by the National Institutes of Health, part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
