Why do people choose not to get prenatal care? Epidemiologic and statistical studies have prenatal care to be significant to the well-being of mothers and their babies. According to the NHHS (Check website) 3.2% of white females, 5.7% African American,7.9% American Indian or Alaska Native,3.0% Asian or Pacific Islander, and 3.6% total receive late to no prenatal care. Additionally, 16% do not seek prenatal care until after the 1st trimester, and I:24 females get late or NO prenatal care. There are many benefits to prenatal care. The most important being preventative measures such as: monitoring for Preeclampsia (PIH). PIH is high blood pressure during pregnancy. By catching it early you can manage and monitor it and in worst case scenarios prevent the risk of a stroke. Early prenatal care can also detect birth defects and anomalies, in addition to gestational diabetes is becoming more prevalent in the US. Going untreated, gestational diabetes can cause problems not only with the mother but the baby as well. Other prenatal problems: such as pre-term labor, short cervix, oligohydramnios (too little amniotic fluid), and polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) generally require continuous monitoring to ensure a successful birth. By catching many of these pregnancy problems early, necessary precautions can be taken to correct them and make sure you have the child safely.
Counseling on proper nutrition which will improve natal and maternal health is very important. A healthy diet is required even if you are taking prenatal vitamins, including folic acid, calcium (3 serving of milk or yogurt), iron and only an additional 300 calories a day: Pregnant women are not really “eating for 2.” By eating a healthy diet, women can improve the health of their baby and ensure proper growth. Additionally, proper nutrition during pregnancy reduces the rick of chronic disease in both mother and baby. Moderate exercise is also very important for the pregnant women. Moderate exercise improves the health of both mother and baby. It can also help reduce delivery complications, and lends for a faster return to pre-pregnancy physical state.

I just wonder, if it comes back normal, does this mean we can rule out diabetes? Or is that a more extensive test that determines that?
Fasting glucose test alone is not enough either to rule out or to diagnose diabetes, unless it shows very high values repeatedly.
Glucose tolerance test would be often necessary to come to a conclusion.
I have ketone test strips and when I took one this morning it put me in the large level. I have been on a fast for about three days now and would like to continue, however I am concerned about how high the level is. Is it dangerous for a person who is not diabetic to have a very high level of ketones in their blood?
eat for god sake,your kidneys are about to digest themselves,and you are dead
My mom has type 2 diabetes and she was told it could affect her eyes. I was just wondering what that meant?
We just went over this in my anatomy class for nursing school. Basically, diabetes is when your pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin, so your liver doesn’t break down sugar and send it to your cells like it should. So instead of storing it as glucose–cell food–it stores it as fat. The fat eventually clogs up your arteries, causing decreased circulation all throughout your body. This is why a lot of diabetics end up having to have their toes or even more amputated. The loss of circulation causes the tissues to die and turn gangrenous.
Diabetes affects the eyes in the same way, by fat blocking the arteries and blood vessels inside the eyes, which eventually leads to blindness. Diabetes can also cause strokes because the stored fat blocks blood vessels to the brain.
So tell your mom to watch her blood glucose levels and stick to her ADA diet, and if she has to take insulin to keep at it as prescribed. On my clinicals in nursing school, we had a few patients that had already had toes, feet, legs amputated. Your mom can avoid all this if she sticks to the dietary guidelines. Also, do some research of your own so you can get a better understanding of the disease and be a good support system for her. I hope this helps clear some things up and I also hope your mom does well.
i would really really like to join the marine corps, but i am a diabetic and am not sure if i could. would they possibly consider taking me in if i have my diabetes under control and do not have to take any meds such as a insulin shot or pills? such as having my diabetes under control by just diet and exercise? please let me know, i really would like to join.
i dont think so, but im not 100% sure. it is possible to get a wiaver in certain situations, but i dont think this is one of them, check with a recruiter though.check here for all of the problems that will keep you out. http://usmilitary.about.com/od/joiningthemilitary/a/intmedstandards.htm
Today, I went to have my glucose screening test done along with my 27th week check up and saw that I gained about 10 lbs in a month! I was horrified and cannot figure out what would cause such a thing since I don’t eat much junk food and try to eat smaller, more frequent meals. So far, I have gained 15 lbs this pregnancy, my doctor thinks it could be gestational diabetes, I cannot help but be scared to death about this, I have the feeling that I am not trying hard enough to maintain a healthy baby. Does anyone have any advice or input about the relation of the two?
Also, the heart rate of my baby was 170, probably from the flat orange soda glucose liquid, but I am very concerned about all of it.
All other tests during pregnancy have been normal, and I am Rh Negative. Diabetes does not run in my family, and no one else had gestational while pregnant. Thanks
There’s more relation to preeclampsia and large weight gain, but right now you’re doing fine!
Gaining weight is just a part of pregnancy. While it’s scary to think about, your body is doing what it should be doing. Your doctor is monitoring SO many aspects of your health (getting tired of peeing in the cup yet?) and if your doctor isn’t worried, you shouldn’t be.
And the heartrate is fine. 
I should add that "they" were my diabetes specialists. I am insulin-dependent. An ecg seemed to rule out any irregularities. But my fast heartbeat still worries me,
I don’t know, and that’s a conversation you should really have with your doctor, because they would be the experts on that.
