Any person with the wrong lifestyle and wrong eating habits can get diabetes. But some women get diabetes during pregnancy. This is called gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes is a dual problem. Firstly, the blood sugar of the mother increases and secondly, many complications can arise in the child growing in the womb of the mother.

This is why every effort should be made to prevent gestational diabetes. Usually, proper eating habits are advised for this. But recent research has claimed that the light is properly managed a few hours before sleeping at night. Gestational diabetes can be prevented.

The study was conducted by researchers at Northwestern Medicine. Studies have suggested that pregnant women should dim the lights in the room a few hours before bedtime. That is, reducing the light will reduce the risk of gestational diabetes in women.

Turn on dim lights three hours before bedtime

According to HT News, researchers at Northwestern Medicine found that if pregnant women dimmed the lights at home three hours before going to bed or used a zero-watt bulb. Also, the light of the computer, smartphone, or other gadgets should be dim. The study found that women with gestational diabetes were exposed to bright light before bedtime.

On the other hand, there were no cases of gestational diabetes among women who lived in low light and exercised. Dr. Minji Kim, a lead researcher, said, "Our study shows that exposure to bright light before bedtime increases the risk of gestational diabetes several times."

The study also found that bright light before bed worsened glucose levels even in non-pregnant women. Research is not yet clear on how bright light affects pregnant women. But it is clear that it increases the number of health complications in pregnant women.

Dr. Minji Kim said this is the first multi-site study. It has been found that exposure to bright light can lead to gestational diabetes in pregnant women. That's why pregnant women need to be careful. Gestational diabetes can cause complications in the uterus of pregnant women. It also increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and dementia. Along with this, there is also a risk of obesity and high blood pressure in the child born.
