Abstract

Expecting with diabetes poses unique challenges necessitating specialized care to ensure maternal and fetal health. This abstract explores expert advice and strategies for managing diabetes during pregnancy. Key considerations include preconception planning to optimize blood glucose levels, frequent monitoring throughout pregnancy to mitigate risks such as macrosomia and preeclampsia, and personalized management strategies involving insulin therapy, diet modifications, and safe physical activity. Postpartum, ongoing glucose monitoring and lifestyle adjustments are crucial to prevent long-term complications. Emotional support and multidisciplinary care are essential components for achieving a safe and successful pregnancy for women with diabetes.
