		<description><![CDATA[New research seems to suggest that there could be a link between social-economic status, diabetes and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The results of recent studies into the relationship between these factors can be seen to indicate that children whose mothers have gestational diabetes mellitus and who are also born into poorer families, could have a higher chance of developing ADHD during childhood. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a form of diabetes which tends to develop during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.The condition which has been becoming increasingly common over recent years. It is also a type of diabetes which is particularly common amongst those with low socio-economic status. This latest discovery from Queens College at the City University of New York could have an effect on everything from the way in which mothers suffering from the condition are treated to the cost of Aviva health insurance. It could also mean that those who are most at risk are given more information surrounding ADHD, and how to spot the signs of this condition. However, as GDM is a diabetes which is not diagnosed before pregnancy, it is unlikely to be something which will be able to be taken into consideration by those trying for a baby.

If you are diabetic then it is better to go for an eye examination every 3 months with your ophthalmologist to avoid eye problems and do keep your sugar level under control.
