Gestational Diabetes occurs during pregnancy,Nucentix GS-85 when your body cannot produce enough insulin to handle the effects of your growing baby and changing hormone levels, causing your blood sugar levels to rise. Once your baby is born, your blood glucose levels usually return to normal and you no longer have gestational diabetes. However, you remain at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future.Diabetes has so many different potential complications it's impossible to list them all. Osteoporosis has recently been added to this list. It's important to understand osteoporosis before looking at the connection to diabetes.
Osteoporosis affects your bones; it means they are fragile and susceptible to breakages. The word actually means "porous bones". Fractures can then be caused by simply coughing, sneezing or bending over. These fractures usually occur in the hip, wrist or spine and are often quite painful. In some cases, they can even be life-threatening.Bones are living tissue that constantly break down and re-build again. They contain numerous minerals such as phosphorous and calcium, and the fewer the minerals you have in your bones, the lower their density becomes.
There has long been a link between Type 1 diabetes and osteoporosis, and now it appears Type 2 diabetes is also linked. It was once believed Type 2 diabetics often had a heavier bone mass and this protected them from osteoporosis. However, people with Type 2 diabetes are more prone to fractures, often due to reduced vision and nerve damage.
