Gestational Diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy when blood sugar levels become higher than normal. It usually appears in the second or third trimester and requires careful monitoring to ensure the health of both the mother and the baby. With timely care and proper management, most women experience healthy pregnancies and safe deliveries.

What Causes Gestational Diabetes?

• Hormonal changes during pregnancy

• Increased insulin resistance

• Family history of diabetes

• Being overweight before pregnancy

• Previous pregnancy with gestational diabetes

Common Symptoms

Most women may not notice symptoms, but some may experience:

• Increased thirst

• Frequent urination

• Fatigue

• Blurred vision

Our Treatment Approach

1. Accurate Diagnosis & Monitoring
We perform glucose tests during pregnancy and create a personalized monitoring plan to track sugar levels.

2. Diet & Nutrition Guidance
Custom meal plans that balance carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to maintain stable blood sugar throughout the day.

3. Safe Physical Activity Plans
Light exercises and pregnancy-safe activities to improve insulin sensitivity and overall wellbeing.

4. Blood Sugar Monitoring
Training on how to check sugar levels at home and understand sugar patterns.

5. Medication or Insulin if Needed
If lifestyle changes are not enough, safe medications or insulin therapy are recommended to protect mother and baby.

6. Regular Maternal & Fetal Check-ups
Monitoring baby's growth, maternal weight, and overall pregnancy health to avoid complications.

Why Proper Management Matters

• Ensures healthy fetal growth

• Reduces the risk of high blood pressure during pregnancy

• Prevents complications at delivery

• Lowers the chance of developing Type 2 Diabetes later in life

• Protects newborn from low sugar levels at birth

After Delivery

Gestational diabetes usually resolves after childbirth, but follow-up sugar tests and lifestyle guidance are recommended to ensure long-term health.
