Caring for Mother and Baby
Educating expectant mothers on the importance of managing diabetes during pregnancy is crucial to protecting the health of both mom and baby. Poorly managed diabetes can lead to complications such as high birth weights and low blood sugar levels in newborns. By working closely with healthcare providers to manage medications, including insulin and oral hypoglycemics, and monitoring blood sugar levels, mothers can reduce these risks.
