A two-day national conference on “Hello diabetes – Academia” held here recently underlined the finer points concerning diabetes in expecting mother.
Welcoming the guests, Dr. Sunil Gupta convener and Director of Diabetes Care n’ Research Center, Diabetes Care Foundation of India (DCFI) said this is a golden opportunity to impart primary prevention strategies for type 2 diabetes. While treating Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), our focus should not be to treat only mother who is likely to become frank diabetic in her later life but also the fetus who may develop diabetes at younger age. Thus by early diagnosis & control we can take care of two generations i.e. mother & the child.
Dr Jitendra Singh, also a diabetologist by profession said that due to high prevalence, screening is essential for all Indian pregnant women.
