Even if someone doesn't have diabetes prior to pregnancy, they can also develop it. There is a potential risk of developing during this time of pregnancy. In the recent reports, my blood sugar level was quite high."


She added, "Mera sabse pehle khayal aaya, 'meine zyada chawal toh nahi kha liya? or zyada aam nahi kha liya? Par mein jo bhi kha rahi thi, mein toh doctor se puchke kha rahi thi. (The first thought that came to my mind was if I ate too much rice? Or too many mangoes. But whatever I was eating, I would consult my doctor beforehand)"
