Women with PCOS are at a higher risk of gestational diabetes during pregnancy.
This is usually due to two hormones - sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and insulin fasting.
When SHBG is low and insulin is high, it sets the stage hormonally for the development of gestational diabetes.
To help lower the risk, it's important that women with PCOS are screened early in their pregnancy for GD, and that they get on a dietary plan that will set them up for reduced complications during pregnancy.
