In pregnancy, the placenta produces hormones that help the baby to grow and develop. These hormones also block the action of the mother’s insulin. This is called insulin resistance. Because of this insulin resistance, the need for insulin in pregnancy is 2 or 3 times higher than normal. If the body is unable to produce this much insulin, gestational diabetes develops.

Here at the NDSS we often receive requests for assistance in contacting NDSS registrants from researchers, so they can write research papers or plan for emerging needs of people with diabetes.
This research may contribute to the development of new ways to treat and manage diabetes, to understand what causes diabetes or to gain a better insight into the lives of people living with diabetes.
If you would like to get involved, please go to the ‘Update your details’ section on ...the NDSS website and change your research preferences to yes.
