Insulin
  • Pancreas does not produce enough insulin
  • Insulin is injected according to various doses
    and timing
  • Tailored according to the kind of insulin being
    taken

  • Management of gestational diabetes is necessary
    for a safe and successful pregnancy. Diet,
    exercise, and insulin therapy work together to
    keep the condition under control until the
    pregnancy is over. Mothers are also advised to
    have themselves screened for the condition if
    they possess some or all of the risk factors for
    gestational diabetes.
