Preventing gestational diabetesAs with gestational hypertension, there is some evidence that dietary and exercise interventions prior to pregnancy may reduce a woman's risk of developing gestational diabetes.47Treatment and managementTreatment for women with gestational diabetes is designed to normalize fetal growth and birth weight in order to minimize maternal and neonatal trauma or TAG Heuer Aquaracer Quartz TH-3 at delivery53 Treatment may include medication, support from diabetes educators and nutritionists, and increased surveillance, although the effectiveness of these interventions is unclear.43 Nutrition recommendations are similar for all pregnant women, including those with gestational diabetes.53 There is emerging evidence that oral agents such as glyburide and metformin are safe and effective for controlling

diabetes during pregnancy,54 and these medicines may be less expensive, easier to administer to patients, and easier to store than insulin - important advantages for developing- country contexts.55Preventing type 2 TAG Heuer Aquaracer TH-102 women with gestational diabetes, postpartum screening for type 2 diabetes at six weeks or more after delivery, at one year postpartum, and every three years afterward is recommended.47,56 The TAG Heuer Aquaracer TH-103 of gestational diabetes is so broad that previously undetected type 2 diabetes may be missed, making follow-up care even more important.49

It may also be possible to prevent or slow progression to type 2 diabetes among women with gestational diabetes.46,47 For example, breastfeeding has also been associated with reduced blood glucose levels and reduced incidence of type 2 diabetes (as well as TAG Heuer Ayrton Senna Link Quartz Chronograph TH-23 disease) for women.47,57 Children who are breastfed may also have lower rates of type 2 diabetes.58 Another study found that people at risk for developing type 2 diabetes who began exercising regularly and eating mainly fruits, vegetables, lentils, and whole grains decreased their risk substantially.
