Diabetes in Pregnancy (GDM)
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a condition where blood sugar levels rise during pregnancy, even in women who have never had diabetes before. Proper diagnosis, monitoring, and management are essential to ensure the health and safety of both mother and baby. At the clinic of Dr. Madhuri M S, we provide specialized care to help women manage gestational diabetes effectively and achieve a safe pregnancy and delivery.

What is Gestational Diabetes?
Gestational diabetes occurs when hormonal changes during pregnancy affect the body’s ability to use insulin properly, leading to high blood sugar levels. While it often resolves after delivery, it requires careful management during pregnancy.
Usually develops in the second or third trimester of pregnancy.
May not present obvious symptoms and is often detected through screening tests.
Increases the risk of complications such as high birth weight, preterm delivery, or cesarean section.
May increase the mother’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
Early detection and management of GDM help reduce risks for both mother and baby.
