Gestational diabetes is a condition that affects pregnant women, posing risks to both mother and baby. At World Diabetes Centre, our specialized doctors are dedicated to providing expert care and comprehensive management for gestational diabetes, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Understanding Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy. It occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin to meet the increased needs of pregnancy. This condition can lead to high blood sugar levels, which, if not managed properly, can cause complications for both the mother and the baby.
Risks Associated with Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes can lead to several complications, including:
- For the Mother:High blood pressure and preeclampsia
Increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life
Complications during delivery
- For the Baby:Higher birth weight, leading to delivery complications
Premature birth and respiratory distress syndrome
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) after birth
Increased risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes later in life

Proper nutrition is essential for managing gestational diabetes. Our dietitians work with patients to develop balanced meal plans that control blood sugar levels while ensuring adequate nutrition for both mother and baby.

Exercise can help regulate blood sugar levels. We recommend safe and suitable physical activities tailored to each patient's condition and pregnancy stage.
