Gestational diabetes in Pregnancy

Asked for Female, 33 years

I am pregnant and in my second trimester, I was having unquenching thirst plus tingling feeling in my hands. After a test, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I am worried about how it is going to affect my baby health and delivery procedure. What should I do to tackle it?

Dear Patient,

Kindly visit your diabetologist regularly and follow the diet plan and medications as prescribed. Be strict in caring for your health and walk regularly. Walk daily for ten mins, avoid starchy and sugary foods. Uncontrolled diabetes can result in preterm labor and many other conditions however if managed well, safe delivery is completely possible.
