Some women develop diabetes during pregnancy. This is called gestational diabetes, and it usually goes away after the baby is born. Your registered dietitian at AdventHealth Ottawa will explain how you can control this condition with diet and exercise. Some women with gestational diabetes need to take insulin.
If you already have diabetes before you get pregnant, you’ll need to take special care to ensure you and your baby stay healthy. Your certified diabetes educator and registered dietitian, along with your doctor, will make sure you get the best care and advice throughout your pregnancy.
