Screening
- Beginning prenatal care early and having regular prenatal visits helps improve the mother's as well as child's health.
- Knowing the risk factors for gestational diabetes and having prenatal screening at 24 - 28 weeks into the pregnancy will help detect gestational diabetes early.
- If overweight, decreasing body mass index (BMI) to a normal range before a pregnancy will decrease risk of developing gestational diabetes.
