its possible that the diabetes is caused by being pregnant (happen to my cousin) or you had it prior to that. Diabetes never goes away and can actually be more visable when your pregnant.

If you had it while pregnant then it is called Gestational Diabetes. It is a temporary form (in most cases) of diabetes in which the body does not produce adequate amounts of insulin to deal with sugar during pregnancy. It may also be called glucose intolerance or carbohydrate intolerance. Signs and symptoms can include:
Sugar in urine (revealed in a test done in your doctor’s office)
Unusual thirst
Frequent urination
Fatigue
Nausea
Frequent infections of bladder, vagina and skin
Blurred vision
If gestational diabetes is diagnosed and treated effectively, there is little risk of complications. If gestational diabetes is not treated, effects for mother and baby can include:
Large birth weight
Premature delivery
Increased chance of cesarean delivery
Slightly increased risk of fetal and neonatal death
With proper care and treatment, women with gestational diabetes can have healthy babies, and the diabetes should disappear after delivery.
It is important that you watch for any continuing signs that you may still be diabetic after giving birth. These symptoms include:
Frequent urination
Persistent thirst
Increased sugar in blood or urine
Testing may be done a few months after the delivery to make sure your blood sugar levels have returned back to normal.
It gives you a 20% better chance of becoming type 2 later in life.
Having some one in the family being diabetic gives you a 20% better chance of becoming type 2 later in life, also.
Those 2 factors almost guarentee that you will become type 2 if you slack the exercise and gain even 10 pounds!
Extreme thirst, many trips to the bathroom, uncontrollable hungar, unexplained weight loss or gain, a numb patch anywhere on body. These are the main signs, but they can be for several diseases as well as for diabetes.
You may have had gestational diabetes, you only have it while you are pregnant. But 65% of women that get gestational diabetes end up developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
Some of the symptoms
Constant thirst
Frequent urination
Blurry vision
Leg cramps
Irritability
Constant hunger
Unexplained weight gain or lose
Itching skin with no rash
Reoccurring yeast infection (itchy penis in men)
Reoccurring boils
Slow healing wounds
Headaches
These are just some of the most frequent symptoms. If you believe you may have diabetes, please go get checked.
