Gestational Diabetes Treatment
Women with gestational diabetes must make dietary adjustments to control their blood glucose levels; in some cases insulin injections may be a required addition to the treatment plan in order to keep blood sugars in a safe range. A gestational diabetes treatment plan may include:
- Regular blood sugar testing
- Eating a healthy meal plan designed by a registered dietitian or other healthcare provider (known as medical nutrition therapy)
- Getting regular, moderate physical activity
- Maintaining healthy weight gain
- Keeping a daily log of dietary intake, physical activity, and glucose levels
- Taking insulin as prescribed
- Urinary ketone testing, if needed
- Regular blood pressure checks
