Helping You Manage Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes affects up to 15 percent of pregnant women. 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. We offer additional services including:

  • Sweet Success — This program provides one-to-one care, small group meetings and ongoing support to women who develop diabetes during pregnancy or have diabetes before becoming pregnant.
  • High-Risk Pregnancy Care — The term “high-risk pregnancy” sounds frightening, but it simply means that doctors and other gestational diabetes experts will closely monitor your pregnancy and provide you with training on how to manage blood glucose (blood sugar) levels so that you and your baby can avoid complications.
  • Support Programs and Classes — Get the information you need to know about gestational diabetes—what it is, how it can affect you and your baby, and how to manage it and avoid complications.

Diabetes, Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome Research

Sutter Health Diabetes, Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome Research
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of illness and death in the U.S. today, but it was uncommon just 60 years ago. Research is critical to slow down this growing health problem and treat the 29 million Americans who have it. Diabetes occurs when the body doesn’t make or use the hormone insulin properly. Cells don’t get the energy they need, and sugar from food – called glucose – builds up in the blood. Obesity is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes and is epidemic in this country.
