Key topics include optimizing blood glucose levels preconception to reduce risks, implementing intensive glucose monitoring and insulin therapy during pregnancy, and adopting balanced diets and safe exercise routines. The abstract also addresses potential complications such as hypertensive disorders and fetal macrosomia, along with postpartum considerations like glucose level fluctuations and long-term diabetes risk. Psychological support and multidisciplinary care are highlighted as integral components to ensure a healthy pregnancy journey for both mother and baby.
