After developing diabetes during pregnancy, if the condition is mild, it can be improved through dietary adjustments and lifestyle modifications. However, if the condition is more severe, insulin therapy—under the guidance of a physician—is required for glycemic control. Additionally, prompt medical evaluation at a hospital is essential to conduct comprehensive examinations and rule out the possibility of fetal structural abnormalities, as maternal diabetes can adversely affect fetal growth and development.
