Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication characterized by high blood sugar levels that develop during pregnancy. Managing gestational diabetes is essential for maternal and fetal health. At Aashakiran IVF, under the guidance of Dr. Asmita Mahla, comprehensive care and support are provided to pregnant individuals diagnosed with gestational diabetes to ensure optimal pregnancy outcomes.

Understanding Gestational Diabetes: Gestational diabetes occurs when the body cannot produce enough insulin to meet the increased demands of pregnancy, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Factors contributing to gestational diabetes include hormonal changes, insulin resistance, and genetic predisposition. While gestational diabetes typically resolves after childbirth, it can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy and delivery if not properly managed.

Risk Factors and Screening: Pregnant individuals at higher risk for gestational diabetes include those who are overweight or obese, have a family history of diabetes, or have previously had gestational diabetes. Screening for gestational diabetes is typically performed between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy using an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Early detection and appropriate management are crucial for reducing the risk of complications for both the mother and baby.

Management of Gestational Diabetes: Effective management of gestational diabetes involves a combination of lifestyle modifications, blood sugar monitoring, and medical interventions as needed. Key components of gestational diabetes management include:

  1. Healthy Eating: Following a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting sugary foods and refined carbohydrates.
  2. Regular Physical Activity: Engaging in moderate exercise, such as walking or swimming, for at least 30 minutes most days of the week, as recommended by healthcare providers.
  3. Blood Sugar Monitoring: Monitoring blood sugar levels regularly using a glucose meter to ensure they remain within target ranges.
  4. Medication if Necessary: In some cases, insulin injections or oral medications may be prescribed to help control blood sugar levels if diet and exercise alone are insufficient.
