Treatment of gestational diabetes varies according to the individual case. Controlling diet is the first, conservative approach; insulin therapy is instituted when glucose levels cannot be managed in this way. Fetal monitoring of growth development is necessary to measure the effectiveness of treatment and to anticipate and prevent complications. An early delivery by cesarean section (incision through the abdominal and uterine walls for fetal delivery) was frequently recommended in the past. Today the procedure, which has its own risks, is selected less often, as long as the disease has been well controlled and fetal development is normal.
