Gestational diabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels rise during pregnancy, posing risks to both mother and baby. It often develops due to hormonal changes that affect insulin production. Symptoms may include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision, though some women may not experience noticeable signs. The condition is usually diagnosed between the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy through a glucose tolerance test. Treatment involves dietary changes, regular exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and, in some cases, insulin therapy. Managing gestational diabetes properly reduces the risk of complications such as premature birth, high birth weight, and type 2 diabetes later in life. AV Clinic and Diabetes Center specializes in gestational diabetes care, offering personalized treatment plans, expert guidance, and regular monitoring to ensure a healthy pregnancy. With timely intervention and proper management, women can maintain stable blood sugar levels and have a safe delivery.
