Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is high blood sugar that develops during pregnancy — typically in the second or third trimester — in women who did not have diabetes before. It occurs because pregnancy hormones increase insulin resistance, and some women's pancreases cannot produce enough extra insulin to compensate. Most women have no symptoms, and the condition is detected through routine screening blood tests between 24 and 28 weeks. With the right care — dietary changes, regular physical activity, blood sugar monitoring at home, and insulin or oral medication when needed — the great majority of women achieve good blood sugar control, have healthy pregnancies, and return to normal blood sugar levels within days of delivery. A coordinated team of an obstetrician, endocrinologist, and dietitian typically manages GDM throughout the pregnancy.
A structured diet plan with portion-controlled carbohydrates, regular physical activity, and daily home blood sugar monitoring — the foundation of GDM care that controls blood sugar for most women without any medication.
