How will an abortion affect gestational diabetes?

Answer by  Jessinna (63)

It's likely to stop the gestational diabetes because there will no longer be the necessary hormones present related to the pregnancy/fetus.

Much like a full term delivery, gestational diabetes should cease with the termination of a pregnancy. However, keep in mind, those who develope Gestational Diabetes, more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes. You should continue to monitor your blood sugar levels from time to time as recommended by your physician.

Gestational diabetes ends once your child is delivered. So a termination or loss of pregnancy would have the same results. Typically gestational diabetes is not checked for until later in your pregnancy when you would be past the time one could choose an abortion. Consult your doctor for advice.

Gestational diabetes is a result of derranged metabolism during pregnancy and usually reverts back to normal following delivery of the fetus either through normal vaginal delivery or abortion.

It will end it. Gestational diabetes is associated with changes in your body during pregnancy. It goes away when the baby is born, so it should go away after abortion.
