Recently, Dipika opened up about her diabetes diagnosis, she said, "I have been given proper medicines. I have been told to make a few lifestyle changes. I also bought a machine to test sugar level after every meal. I did a gestational challenge test. Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops in 24-28 weeks of pregnancy. Even if someone doesn’t have diabetes prior to pregnancy, they can also develop. There is a potential risk of developing during this time of pregnancy. In the recent reports, my blood sugar level was quite high".
She further added, "I kept thinking if I ate more mango, rice or sweets. But it also made me think that I would eat everything after consulting my doctor. It is very normal. Gestational diabetes doesn’t happen according to what you ate in the last months. As the baby and placenta grow, it releases many hormones. These hormones cause insulin resistance and that is the reason you develop gestational diabetes. Many pregnant women develop this and I also developed".
