Diabetes Educator Services for Gestational Diabetes Care
Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy, causing high blood sugar levels that can affect both mother and baby. At Sunway Medical Centre, Sunway City, our experienced Diabetes Educator team provides comprehensive care, including personalised counseling, nutrition and exercise guidance, and support in blood sugar management and monitoring. Our goal is to help mothers with gestational diabetes maintain healthy blood sugar levels and enjoy a safer, healthier pregnancy.
