How dangerous is Gestational Diabetes or GDM?
Gestational diabetes is a problem in which women become a victim of diabetes during pregnancy. Women usually suffer from diabetes in their 5th month of pregnancy. In most of the women, the problem of diabetes ends after delivery and the body starts working normally. However, gestational diabetes can be dangerous (at times) because it can lead to miscarriage, weak or unhealthy baby, premature delivery, or death of the mother in serious situations.
Pregnancy GDM Treatment
Gestational diabetes can usually cause difficulty during pregnancy and delivery. To avoid this, women must take the medicines prescribed by the doctor and the dose of insulin at the right time. Apart from this, the risk of gestational diabetes can also be reduced by diet control. During this time, you may have to undergo several ultrasound tests to monitor whether diabetes has affected your baby or not. Most of the time, babies born after gestational diabetes are overweight.
