If it affects you, Sutter’s experienced OB/Gyn and maternal-fetal medicine doctors and endocrinologists located throughout Northern California, can help you learn the skills you need to manage your blood glucose (blood sugar) levels and keep you and your baby healthy throughout your pregnancy, delivery and after birth.
