Dipika explains Gestational diabetes:

Shoaib Ibrahim’s wife also explained the definition of Gestational diabetes to her viewers. She said, “It 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“.

Dipika Kakar further explained, “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, which is why you develop gestational diabetes. Many pregnant women develop this and I also developed“.

Earlier, during her pregnancy announcement, Dipika revealed suffered a miscarriage in the 6th week of pregnancy.
