    Gestational diabetes occurs when a pregnant woman's body cannot produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. It can affect both the pregnancy and the health of the baby. There are two types - one managed through diet and exercise and one requiring insulin or other medications. Signs include increased thirst, frequent urination, dry mouth, and fatigue. It is diagnosed through an oral glucose tolerance test and risk factors include being overweight, lack of exercise, family history of diabetes, and previous gestational diabetes. Nursing care focuses on monitoring blood sugar levels, the fetus, and health education to help manage the condition. Treatment may include oral medications or insulin.
