if sodium reduction helps before you can stay with that as long as u don’t go under 1500 mg

NO proteinuria
what is gestational diabetes
diabetes diagnosed in pregnancy that is clearly not chronic diabetes
high maternal BG = increased fetal BG = more fetal insulin production = increases glucose uptake and TG formation in fetus
outcomes associated with gestational DM in mother
increased risk for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and obesity later in life
increased risk for gestational DM in next pregnancies
