Bharti Singh Reveals High Sugar Levels During Pregnancy, Raises Concern About Baby Health

Comedian Bharti Singh is currently enjoying her second pregnancy, but recently revealed in a new vlog that she's not feeling well. Bharti explained that her blood sugar levels have suddenly spiked,which her doctor has advised her to take seriously.

She says that no matter how careful she is and how she avoids sweets, her sugar levels remain consistently high. This is why she's worried about her unborn child.

Bharti's statement has raised a question in many women's minds:- If a mother's sugar levels rise during pregnancy, does it impact the health of the infant?

Why do sugar levels rise during pregnancy?

The body often produces hormones that prevent insulin from working properly. This leads to the development of gestational diabetes in many women. This condition often resolves after delivery, but if it persists, it can pose a risk to both mother and baby.

Bharti is struggling with the same problem. She was following a strict diet—avoiding sweets and wheat, and eating only millet. Despite this, the increased sugar levels left her feeling distressed and emotionally drained.

Can a mother's high sugar levels during pregnancy cause her baby to develop diabetes?

It's a common concern, and often a misconception, that if the mother has diabetes, the baby will also be born with diabetes.

The truth is:

• Elevated sugar levels in the womb reach the baby directly through the placenta.
• To balance this, the baby begins producing more insulin.
• This excess insulin can cause several problems later on.

The baby doesn't need to be born with diabetes, but in the long run, it may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and hormonal imbalances. Therefore, doctors advise against taking gestational diabetes lightly.

What sugar level is considered normal?

A healthy woman's sugar level during pregnancy should be approximately as follows:

• Fasting (on an empty stomach): less than 90-95 mg/dL
• Less than 140 mg/dL an hour after eating
• Less than 120 mg/dL two hours after eating

If the sugar level consistently remains above this level, it is considered gestational diabetes.

 What risks are increased by high sugar levels?

Ignoring gestational diabetes can:

• The baby may gain excessive weight
• Complications during delivery
• The mother's risk of developing high blood pressure increases
• The baby may experience low blood sugar immediately after birth
• The baby's risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases in the future

This is why Bharti Singh is concerned about her baby's health.

 What can a mother do?

• Regularly checking blood sugar levels
• Observing the dietary recommendations of a physician
• Maintaining light physical activity (as much as the doctor allows)
• Reducing stress, as stress can also increase sugar levels

If a mother keeps her sugar levels under control during pregnancy, the risk to the baby is significantly reduced.

Bharti Singh's condition: A message to the public

Bharti Singh's words clearly demonstrate how sudden and silent increases in sugar levels can occur during pregnancy. She had been paying attention to her diet for a long time, yet her sugar levels still increased. This shows that gestational diabetes is not only related to food, but also to hormonal changes in the body.

Her story helps many women understand that:- Even the slightest negligence during pregnancy can affect both the mother and the baby. Therefore, timely checkups, proper diet, and a doctor's advice are very important.
