  • Gestational Diabetes
    Scan with your smartphone to get an e-version of this leaflet. You might need an app to scan this code. Gestational diabetes Information for women Department of Diabetes Aberdeen Royal Infirmary What is gestational diabetes? Some women develop diabetes during pregnancy. This is called gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes usually starts in the later stages of pregnancy. It happens when the body can’t control its own blood glucose level (sometimes called the “blood sugar level”). The hormone insulin is responsible for controlling blood glucose levels. The hormones produced during pregnancy block the action of insulin in the body. In women who develop gestational diabetes, there is not enough extra insulin produced to overcome the blocking effect. Gestational diabetes can usually be controlled by changes to your diet but some women may need to take tablets or insulin therapy as well. Why do I need to keep my blood glucose down? It’s important to control the level of glucose in your blood during pregnancy and keep it within the normal range. Normal ranges in pregnancy are: • Fasting - less than 5.5mmol/l • 2 hours after food - less than 7.0mmol/l (up to 35 weeks) • 2 hours after food - less than 8.0mmol/l (over 35 weeks). 1 If there’s too much glucose in your blood, your baby’s body may start to make extra insulin to try to cope with it. This extra insulin can make the baby grow larger, making delivery more difficult and so could cause injury to you and your baby. Also a baby who is making extra insulin may have low blood glucose after they are born, which can affect them in the first few hours of life.

  • Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom
    Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, Aberdeen, Scotland, United Kingdom Aberdeen Royal Infirmary opened its doors to its first 4 patients in August 1742, and admitted 21 patients in its first year, tak- ing in people from the Northeast region of Scotland and beyond. The early 1800s saw huge changes take place, including the opening of a dedicated mental health hospital. In 1830, increasing demand on the Infirmary resulted in the construction of the Simpson Pavilion at the Woolmanhill site (top left), accommodating 230 patients. Early cardiology records from 1890 show an unidentified physician diagnosing mitral and aortic stenosis. Aberdeen graduate Augustus Désiré Waller conceptualized and recorded the world’s first ECG in 1887, and the first ECG machine was introduced at Woolmanhill in 1920. The New Aberdeen Royal Infirmary at Foresterhill opened in 1936 (aerial photo, top right), expanding over the last century to become one of the largest hospital complexes in Europe (bottom right). As the main teaching hospital of the University of Aberdeen (world’s fifth-oldest English-speaking University, established 1495), doctors and scientists work closely together in shared facilities. Aberdeen Royal Infirmary is home to many medical discoveries and innovations. In the early 1970s, John Mallard andJim Hutchinson pioneered the design and construction of the world’s first whole body magnetic resonance imaging scanner for clinical use (bottom left). Development of the next generation of the technology (fast field cycling magnetic reso- nance imaging) continues here today. In collaboration with general practitioners, Aberdeen cardiologists pioneered prehospital thrombolysis for acute myocardial infarction in the prepercutaneous intervention era.
