Kim Kardashian Hints She Might Have Gestational Diabetes on Keeping Up With the Kardashians Promo for New Season: Watch

Kim Kardashian hints that she could be suffering from gestational diabetes in a promo for Season 11 of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

Kim Kardashian has made no secret of the fact that she hasn't enjoyed being pregnant, but the reality star hinted in the promo for Season 11 of Keeping Up With the Kardashians on Sunday, Oct. 11, that she could be diagnosed with diabetes as she carries her second child.

The 34-year-old, who is expecting a son in December with husband Kanye West, 38, suffered from potentially deadly preeclampsia when she was pregnant with daughter North West in 2013, and on a routine doctor's checkup, she learned that she could be in even more trouble this time around.

"Once you have preeclampsia, you are at risk for having it again," Kardashian's doctor warned her in a scene from the upcoming season of the reality show.
Then Kardashian told her mother, Kris Jenner, and big sister, Kourtney Kardashian, "They saw more fluid than usual in my placenta, which can mean I have diabetes."

The shock was clear on Jenner's face.In a post on her website on Monday, Oct. 5, Kim wrote about how she really feels about being pregnant, admitting it "is the worst experience of my life!"
"I don't enjoy one moment of it and I don't understand people who enjoy it," she continued before adding that it's "worth it when you have your precious baby in the end."
Gestational diabetes doesn't necessarily mean that Kim will have diabetes after giving birth to her son, but many women go on to develop type 2 diabetes years later, according to the American Diabetes Association.
If she does have the condition, Kim will need to carefully keep track of her blood sugar levels for the remainder of her pregnancy to make sure that she and her baby remain healthy and that the extra glucose in her blood stream doesn't cause her baby to grow too large or force her to deliver before her due date.
The condition could also raise her risk of preeclampsia, which causes high blood pressure and, according to the Mayo Clinic, can threaten the lives of both mother and baby.
