How Is Gestational Diabetes Managed?
Some suggestions for preventing complications include: • In most cases, increases in glucose levels can be managed with diet and exercise. Aerobic exercise before and during pregnancy may lower glucose levels and help protect women at risk or those who have gestational diabetes. (Any pregnant woman should check with her doctor before embarking on a vigorous exercise regimen) • If a woman with gestational diabetes cannot control her glucose with lifestyle measures, she is usually given insulin.
