Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do to manage my diabetes during pregnancy?
Managing diabetes during pregnancy involves a combination of healthy eating, regular physical activity, and close monitoring. Focus on a balanced diet with controlled carbohydrates, consistent meal timings, and limited intake of sugary foods. At Fernandez Hospital’s Diabetes Clinic for pregnant women in Hyderabad, our experts offer personalised diet and exercise plans, along with ongoing support to help you maintain optimal blood sugar levels for a healthy pregnancy.
What are the risks of diabetes during pregnancy?
Diabetes during pregnancy increases the risk of high blood pressure, preeclampsia, cesarean delivery, and future type 2 diabetes for the mother. For the baby, risks include high birth weight and early birth. Fernandez Hospital’s Diabetes Clinic for pregnant women in Hyderabad provides comprehensive care to minimise complications and ensure a healthy pregnancy.
Will I have diabetes after pregnancy?
While gestational diabetes typically resolves after childbirth, it still leaves women with a 50% higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes. Some may have had undiagnosed diabetes before pregnancy. Fernandez Hospital’s Diabetes Clinic for pregnant women in Hyderabad provides ongoing monitoring and guidance for long-term health after pregnancy.
What is gestational diabetes?
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy, causing high blood sugar levels that can affect both the mother and the baby. It usually appears in the second or third trimester. Fernandez Hospital’s Diabetes Clinic for pregnant women in Hyderabad specialises in diagnosing and caring for gestational diabetes.
How can I reduce my risk of developing gestational diabetes?
Maintain a healthy weight, eat a balanced diet rich in fibre and low in added sugars, and exercise regularly. Women with a history of gestational diabetes should have their blood sugar checked before and during pregnancy. Fernandez Hospital’s Diabetes Clinic for pregnant women in Hyderabad offers preventive counselling and support for at-risk women.
How is gestational diabetes diagnosed?
Gestational diabetes is diagnosed using an OGTT, typically done at the first antenatal visit and again at 24–28 weeks if the initial test is normal. If blood sugar levels are above, gestational diabetes is confirmed. Fernandez Hospital’s Diabetes Clinic for pregnant women in Hyderabad provides accurate testing and expert diagnosis.
Can gestational diabetes affect my baby?
Yes, gestational diabetes can affect your baby by increasing the risk of high birth weight, low blood sugar after birth, premature delivery, and jaundice. In rare cases, it may lead to stillbirth. Fernandez Hospital’s Diabetes Clinic for pregnant women in Hyderabad ensures close monitoring and care for both mother and baby.
Will gestational diabetes go away after childbirth?
In most cases, gestational diabetes resolves after childbirth. However, women who have had gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future, so regular follow-up is important. Fernandez Hospital’s diabetes clinic for pregnant women in Hyderabad provides postnatal support and follow-up to help mothers maintain long-term health.
