Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a condition in which blood sugar levels become elevated during pregnancy. It usually develops during the second or third trimester in women who did not have diabetes before pregnancy.
Early diagnosis and proper management are essential to ensure healthy fetal development and minimize risks during pregnancy and childbirth.
Women who have diabetes before becoming pregnant may have:
A condition where the body produces little or no insulin.
A condition characterized by insulin resistance and elevated blood sugar levels.
A form of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and usually resolves after childbirth, although it increases the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.
The primary objectives of treatment include:
Dr. Tejashree Bakre provides individualized care plans that may include:
A customized diet plan is designed to help maintain stable blood sugar levels while ensuring adequate nutrition for mother and baby.
Regular monitoring helps evaluate treatment effectiveness and allows timely adjustments when necessary.
Safe physical activity recommendations can help improve glucose control and overall pregnancy health.
If lifestyle modifications alone are insufficient, insulin therapy or other medically appropriate treatments may be recommended under close supervision.
Regular ultrasounds and fetal assessments help ensure healthy growth and development throughout pregnancy.
If your recent test results came back abnormal, or you’d simply rather stay ahead of the risk given your history, it’s worth having a proper conversation sooner rather than later. Dr. Tejashree Bakre offers gestational diabetes treatment and ongoing pregnancy diabetes management at multiple hospitals across Mulund, Bhandup, and Mumbai.

Q1. Will gestational diabetes go away after I deliver?
In most cases, yes blood sugar levels typically return to normal after delivery. That said, it does raise your future risk of type 2 diabetes, so periodic check-ups afterward are still recommended.
Q2. Can I still have a normal delivery if I have gestational diabetes?
Often, yes. Many women with well-managed gestational diabetes go on to have a normal vaginal delivery. The decision depends on how well blood sugar is controlled and the baby’s estimated size closer to term.
Q3. Do I need insulin if I have gestational diabetes?
Not necessarily. A large number of cases are managed successfully through diet and light exercise alone. Insulin is only introduced if those measures aren’t keeping blood sugar within a safe range.
Q4. Is gestational diabetes dangerous for the baby?
If left unmanaged, it can lead to the baby growing larger than average, early delivery, or low blood sugar right after birth. With proper treatment, these risks drop significantly.
Q5. How soon can I get tested if I’m worried about my risk?
If you have known risk factors, testing can be done earlier than the standard 24–28 week window — this is something Dr. Bakre can assess at your very first prenatal visit.
