Welcome to the World Diabetes Centre, where we understand the unique challenges faced by expectant mothers with gestational diabetes. Gestational diabetes, a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels during pregnancy, requires specialized care to ensure the health and well-being of both mother and baby. Let's explore the essential role of our gestational diabetes doctors and how they provide comprehensive support to moms-to-be at every stage of their pregnancy journey.
Understanding Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy, typically in the second or third trimester. It occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin to meet the increased demands of pregnancy, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. While gestational diabetes usually resolves after childbirth, it can pose risks to both the mother and baby if left untreated.

- Monitoring and Follow-Up: Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and fetal growth is essential for tracking the progress of gestational diabetes and ensuring optimal outcomes. Our doctors provide ongoing support and follow-up care to monitor the health and well-being of both mother and baby throughout pregnancy.
