Nutrition for Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes is a condition of high blood sugar diagnosed after the six months of pregnancy, with no experience of diabetes before pregnancy. Diabetes experienced during pregnancy causes an increase in blood pressure and the birth of big babies. Therefore, all pregnant women, especially those bearing risk, should have screening tests between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy.

Preparing a nutrition plan that will control the blood sugar levels of mothers with gestational diabetes is significant in terms of meeting the nutritional needs of the mother as well as the growth and development of the baby. Gestational diabetes usually disappears after giving birth.
