Overview

Management of Diabetes in Pregnancy, often termed Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), is crucial for the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby. Srinivasa Hospital play an indispensable role in providing comprehensive care to manage this condition effectively.

Once we diagnose GDM, our obstetricians chart a treatment plan. The cornerstone of management is monitoring and controlling blood sugar levels. We regularly monitor glucose levels, ensuring that they remain within a safe range to prevent complications.

Dietary and lifestyle modifications form a significant part of GDM management. We offer nutrition counselling to help expectant mothers make informed food choices, ensuring adequate nutrition while maintaining blood sugar control. Additionally, safe exercise recommendations are also provided, tailored to the mother’s needs.

In cases where lifestyle modifications are insufficient, we are equipped to provide medication management.

Furthermore, we consistently do foetal monitoring with advanced ultrasound technology as uncontrolled GDM can lead to complications like macrosomia (large baby size) or early delivery.
