Gestational diabetes (GDM) requires specialized clinical attention to ensure the health of both mother and baby. For comprehensive pregnancy diabetes management in Kharghar and Panvel, Dr. Sandeep Rai utilizes the World Health Organization (WHO) protocols, including the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT).
A diagnosis is typically confirmed if plasma glucose concentration exceeds 140mg/dL two hours after a 75g glucose load. Early detection is vital for successful GDM management in Navi Mumbai.
Women in the Kharghar and Panvel areas with the following characteristics are at an increased risk and should seek screening early in their pregnancy:
Family history of diabetes
History of unexplained prenatal loss (death of baby from 7 months of pregnancy)
History of having given birth to a large infant or a child with birth defects
Obesity or being overweight
Polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid)
Women over 25 years of age or with existing hypertension
Successful Pregnancy Diabetes Management involves a collaborative effort between the patient, obstetricians, and a senior diabetologist. Dr. Sandeep Rai emphasizes a proactive approach that ideally begins before conception for known diabetic patients.
