Controlling your blood sugar is the key to preventing problems during pregnancy and birth. You may be able to control your blood sugar with healthy eating and regular moderate exercise. If you keep up with these healthy habits, they can help prevent gestational diabetes in a future pregnancy. They can also help prevent type 2 diabetes later in life.

You'll need to check your blood sugar at home to see if it's staying in a target range. If it isn't, you may need to take diabetes medicine or give yourself insulin shots.

It's also important to have regular medical checkups. At each visit, your doctor will do tests to see how you and your baby are doing.
