Apart from Gestation Diabetes itself, women who are faced with this condition may be at risk of a number of side effects. This is not meant to scare you but there are recent news that are worth to be aware of. The first one was from the Nigerian tribune.
Diabetes Causes Abortions In Pregnant Women
There is no other experience that can be as devastating to a woman as a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion. A number of experts think that in some instances diabetes may be the cause of many cases of abortion and birth of children with inborn malformations in pregnant women.
Mrs Sarah Haruna had endured four miscarriages in the last eight years. Despite being treated at two private hospitals during the last two pregnancies, 32-year-old Sarah suffered painful miscarriages, as the underlying problem did not get detected. A government hospital finally made the joy of the Haruna family full when Sarah delivered a healthy baby after seven months of monitoring by a specialist doctor.
This leads us to the conclusion that women should get first, second and even third opinions when they have symptoms of Gestational Diabetes, to satisfy their own health needs as well as their baby's. Far better to err on the side of being super-cautious, and to quote an old but useful clich -- better safe than sorry!

In what was termed as the largest medical malpractice jury verdict in Michigan history, an Oakland County jury awarded the family of quadriplegic 15-year-old girl $130 million in damages.
According to her attorneys of Macomb Township, the mother of the girl was suffering from Gestation Diabetes and this caused the girl to be born being larger than normal. Attorney Geoffrey Fieger stated that the doctor who was in charge induced her for a vaginal delivery at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak instead of delivering her by cesarean section. This affected her and she got a brain damage and a broken clavicle and now has quadriplegia, which requires an all time care.
According to Fieger, the doctor literally crushed the life out of the little girl. The officials of the hospital said that their evidence revealed the girl's birth defects were genetic. The case lasted about three weeks and was lead by Judge Rudy Nichols, and the jury of eight people took three days to come to the decision of this case that was filed in May 2006.
Although Beaumont officials said they will appeal the award, Halperin no longer works at the hospital according to spokesman Robert Ortlieb. Fieger explained that the award given was to take care of the cost of caring for Markell around-the-clock up to 2077 and her lost wages. This money will be stored with a conservator appointed by the court.
In the original complaint, filed by attorney Douglas Raymond of Lafayette, Colo., Halperin and Beaumont were accused of not realizing that Markell's size warranted a C-section and failing to prevent injury to the baby.
It is evident that Gestational Diabetes can cause problems not only to an expectant mother but to the child also. For this reason, in case you think you have it, don't wait! You should consult your doctor or health care professional immediately, and always remember that Gestational Diabetes poses a number of serious side effects other than the disease itself.
