hi guys im really worried about my friend and i need ur advice. shes 18 and 3 months ago she had a healthy baby girl, my friend was feeling really ill after but just thought it was normal after birth.
Now 3months on shes feeling worse and started to get short of breath and getting really ill and was rushed in to hospital and had to have oxygen and a cathater (sp) placed inside of her. the doctors have now discovered since giving birth my friend has diabeties, she never had it during pregnancy because she had blood tests done and all came back normal. they dont no how serious it is as they are awaiting more test results.
im really worried has anyone ever heard of this. ive heard of it happening during pregnancy but then dissapearing so i cant understand it. shes really ill and i dont know what to do

thanks for that but the information you gave me is diabeties during pregnancy which my friend never had, she developed it after the birth which i think is unusaul and i never heard of it, but thanks anyway
