Gestational diabetes management

Insurance-covered, tech-enabled, hyperpersonalized

Since these symptoms can also occur in normal pregnancies, regular screening is crucial. Screening for gestational diabetes is typically done between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy.

Subtle signs of gestational diabetes

Gestational diabetes often develops without noticeable symptoms. However, some women may experience:

How is gestational diabetes diagnosed?

Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT)

If the GCT results are abnormal, an OGTT is performed. This involves fasting overnight, drinking another sugary solution, and having blood sugar levels checked at multiple intervals over a three-hour period. Elevated readings at two or more intervals confirm gestational diabetes.

Who is at risk of
getting gestational diabetes?

Pre-existing Insulin Resistance

Women who already have some degree of insulin resistance are more likely to develop gestational diabetes.

Genetics

A family history of diabetes can increase the risk.

Weight

Being overweight or obese before pregnancy significantly raises the likelihood of gestational diabetes.

Age

Women over the age of 25 are at a higher risk.

Ethnicity

Certain ethnic groups, including African American, Hispanic, Native American, and Asian women, have a higher prevalence of gestational diabetes.

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS)

This condition is associated with insulin resistance and can increase the risk of gestational diabetes.

I had a great experience at metabolic. The doctors were very professional, and the entire process, from the blood tests to everything else, was smooth and efficient. Highly recommend!

Metabolic Clinic is the best! Got my blood test results instantly and met the doctor in the same visit, saving me multiple trips and hassle. The on-site pharmacy has almost everything I needed, and the reception team is super responsive and organized. Highly recommend for a smooth, time-saving experience!

I've had such a great experience with Dr. Joudy and the team at metabolic. The service I've received has been really personable, professional, and patient-centric with impactful results. I've recommended this center to all my friends.

I have consulted metabolic for my son and it was so amazing to connect with metabolic health team. The entire process with thorough guidance and absolute transparency was shared with us. They explained every minute details about the plan, medication, etc., which gave us lot of confidence to go with the treatment plan. I must say it’s very genuine and fabulous team of doctors and support staff including Zone Health team specially Sara with whom we interacted. I would like to highly recommend metabolic for the weight loss management.

Today I had the best experience at metabolic being part of zone access program for almost a year now! Divya was incredible in welcoming me and my best Doctor of all time Dr Melina taking me through my journey!!!

A truly well run & very well staffed clinic. Very professional in their approaches from front of house to practitioner consultation’s. Ever expanding patient/client base says it all - very forefront protocols with very attractive price points.
