Understanding Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes occurs when hormonal changes during pregnancy cause blood sugar levels to rise. It affects approximately 10-15% of pregnancies in India and usually resolves after delivery. However, it requires careful management during pregnancy to prevent complications for both mother and baby.

Women who develop gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life, making proper management during pregnancy especially important.
