Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder of insulin deficiency or insulin retention, a state characterized by high blood glucose (hyperglycemia) and glucose in the urine (glucosuria) or a clinical syndrome characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and impaired metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins in connection with lack of insulin secretion in absolute / relative and or the disruption of insulin function.
Diabetes mellitus can be a hereditary disorder by means of insufficiency or reduction of insulin in the blood circulation, reduced glycogenesis, and high blood sugar concentration. Diabetes in pregnancy raises many difficulties, this disease will cause changes in patients with metabolic and hormonal. Some of certain hormones increase the number. For example, the hormone cortisol, estrogen, and human placental lactogen (HPL). Increasing the number of all these hormones during pregnancy turned out to have an influence on the function of insulin in regulating blood sugar levels. This condition causes an insulin resistant condition called "insulin resistance".
