Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is high blood sugar diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy. It typically develops between the 24th and 28th weeks of gestation due to pregnancy hormones blocking the action of insulin. Left unmonitored, GDM can cause excessive fetal growth (macrosomia), birth complications, preeclampsia, and neonatal hypoglycemia. At Star Women Care Clinic in Wakad, Dr. Aparna Kalekar provides comprehensive GDM management.

Screening & Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)

Routine GDM screening is performed for all expectant mothers between 24–28 weeks using the 75g Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT / DIPSI guidelines). Fasting, 1-hour, and 2-hour plasma glucose levels are measured to ensure early detection.

Personalized Maternal Nutrition & Monitoring

Most GDM cases can be controlled through structured meal planning (low glycemic index complex carbs, adequate protein, split meals) and daily self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) logbooks reviewed during prenatal visits.

Medical Insulin Therapy & Fetal Wellbeing

If diet alone does not maintain target blood sugar levels (Fasting < 95 mg/dL, 2-hr Postmeal < 120 mg/dL), safe pregnancy-approved insulin therapy is initiated alongside regular serial growth ultrasound scans and Non-Stress Tests (NST).
