AB Normal  pregnancy  can  be  characterized  as  a  state  of  increased  insulin  resistance  that  helps  ensure  a  steady  stream  of  glucose  delivery  to  the  developing  fetus.  Thus,  both  mild  fasting  hypoglycemia  and  postprandial  hyperglycemia  are  physiologic.  These  metabolic  changes  are  felt  to  be  hormonally  mediated  with  likely  contributions  from  human  placental  lactogen,  estrogen,  and  progesterone.
