Gestational diabetes occurs when the body can't make enough insulin to manage high blood sugar during pregnancy, usually developing between the 24th and 28th weeks. It affects about 14% of pregnancies worldwide. Women with gestational diabetes often feel more anxious and stressed and have a higher risk of depression during and after pregnancy.
