Gestational Diabetes

Gestational Diabetes Management is a specialized healthcare service focused on diagnosing, monitoring, and managing diabetes that develops during pregnancy. Proper management is essential to protect the health of both mother and baby, ensuring a safer pregnancy and reducing the risk of complications during and after childbirth.

At Bliss Diabetes Centre, under the expert guidance of Dr. Bensley L. Gonsalves, we provide personalized care for expectant mothers diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Our goal is to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels throughout pregnancy while supporting the overall well-being of both mother and child.

• Comprehensive Pregnancy Diabetes Assessment

• Blood Sugar Monitoring and Tracking

• HbA1c and Diagnostic Testing

• Personalized Nutrition Counselling

• Weight Management Guidance

• Safe Exercise Recommendations

• Medication and Insulin Management (if required)
