Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy and affects how your body processes sugar. At Empire Endocrinology, we provide expert care to help you manage your blood sugar levels safely—supporting a healthy pregnancy for both you and your baby.

What Is Gestational Diabetes? Gestational diabetes occurs when pregnancy hormones interfere with insulin function, causing elevated blood glucose levels. It typically develops in the second or third trimester and usually resolves after delivery—but it requires careful monitoring to prevent complications.

Why Management Matters If left untreated, gestational diabetes can increase the risk of:
