Gestational diabetes

Gestational diabetes is a form of elevated blood sugar that develops during pregnancy and often resolves after childbirth. However, if not properly managed, it can pose serious risks to both mother and fetus. Careful blood sugar control, a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and, when necessary, insulin therapy — all under the close supervision of a specialist — are essential to ensure the mother’s health and support the fetus’s normal development. Awareness and diligent management during this critical period can prevent the development of permanent diabetes and reduce postpartum complications.
