    Hi Woodi!

    you are a great friend to be concerned about your friend and the gestational diabetes. There is a good article here about gestational diabetes, some tips on how to handle it and when to determine that it might not be just gestational. According to a study, an estimated 135,000 women experience gestational diabetes every year. It also states that women who get gestational diabetes are at a greater risk to get type 2 diabetes later in life.

     

    Woodi, take care and stay in touch and let us know how your friend is doing!!
