Sorry to hear about your Gestational diabetes! Maitainance of a healthy weight with a planned diet and daily exercise can help reduce the effects of or prevent gestational diabetes. It can cause increase in weight of the baby, make delivery difficult and cause low blood sugar in baby soon after birth. More severe complications for the baby may include jaundice, respiratory distress, obesity and even miscarriage. However all these risks can be minimised by controlling the blood sugar levels.
