In providing a range of transportation and logistics solutions, Tri-National, Inc., reinforces its reputation as a problem-solving company that ensures quality in every stage of its work. Tri-National, Inc., also supports the American Diabetes Association (ADA), one of the largest networks of medical professionals, researchers, and volunteers in the United States with the collaborative aim of curing all forms of diabetes. In addition to raising awareness of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, the ADA provides information about gestational diabetes, a rarer form of the disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, gestational diabetes affects up to 9.2 percent of pregnant women. Though the causes of gestational diabetes remain unknown, the condition occurs when a pregnant woman’s body is unable to create the insulin required for both her and her baby. Since gestational diabetes affects mothers during the later stages of pregnancy, the condition rarely results in the birth defects associated with other forms of diabetes. However, failure to treat gestational diabetes properly results in unborn babies receiving too much glucose. This additional sugar is often stored as fat, which may lead to macrosomia, a condition that results in the baby being much larger than it should be at birth. Children with macrosomia have an elevated risk of breathing problems at birth and developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Further, the increased size can cause injuries to the baby during birth, particularly shoulder injuries.
