Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that is diagnosed during pregnancy. It is an intermediate state between normal and diabetes mellitus and usually goes away after childbirth.
However, this does not mean that it is harmless and does not need to be controlled. Gestational diabetes increases the risk of future development of type 2 diabetes in the mother and can affect the baby's health by causing weight problems and premature birth.
To ensure a comfortable pregnancy, the mom-to-be needs to take care of herself and her baby. A balanced diet, outdoor walks and moderate physical activity can help reduce the risk of gestational diabetes and improve well-being.
It is also important to monitor glucose levels and get regular tests to detect problems early.
MLC is developing an innovative continuous glucose monitoring system, CGM FLY, to help moms-to-be monitor their own and their baby's health. One CGM FLY sensor will take care of two lives!
