Angelina Jolie suffering from gestational diabetes?

Actress Angelina Jolie has been suffering from a form of diabetes that hits expecting mothers, according to reports. Jolie, who is supposedly pregnant with twins, has reportedly contracted gestational diabetes,  as well as other complications including edema or swelling,  fatigue and relentless nausea.

“She has gestational diabetes,” Star Magazine quoted a source, as saying. “She found out about a month ago. She’s been seeing a nutritionist about it frequently,” the source added. The actress is said to be very nauseous and her legs are so swollen that she has to wear bigger shoes.

Gestational diabetes occurs in a small percentage of pregnant women and results in high blood-sugar levels. Standard treatment is diet and exercise and is reversible but sufferers run the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes as a consequence. Jolie, who is speculated to be having twins already has a daughter, Shiloh with Brad Pitt, and three adopted kids, Maddox, Pax Thien and Zahara.
