During exercise: Watch for symptoms of low blood sugar
During exercise, low blood sugar is sometimes a concern. If you’re planning a long workout, check your blood sugar every 30 minutes during exercise — especially if you’re trying a new activity or increasing the intensity or duration of your workout.
If your blood sugar is 70 mg/dL or lower or you feel shaky, nervous or confused, stop exercising and eat or drink something to raise your blood sugar level. More …
After exercise: Check your blood sugar again
After exercise, check your blood sugar right away and then several times during the next few hours. Exercise draws on reserve sugar stored in your muscles and liver. As your body rebuilds these stores, it takes sugar from your blood. More …

Diabetes Exercise: When to monitor your blood sugar
Exercise is an important part of any diabetes treatment plan. To avoid potential problems, check your blood sugar before, during and after exercise.
Diabetes and exercise go hand in hand, at least when it comes to managing diabetes. Exercise can help you improve your blood sugar control, as well as boost your overall fitness and reduce your risk of heart disease and nerve damage.
But diabetes exercise pose special challenges, too. More …

Components of the classical circulating RAS, in particular, renin release from the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney, undergo a decline in older animals. This includes reductions in renal tissue renin mRNA, juxtaglomerular cell renin content, responsiveness of renin release to various challenges, and plasma renin and angiotensin (Ang) II.The renal vasoconstrictor responses to exogenously administered Ang II are increased in older animals,perhaps resulting from the reductions in the circulating system. In striking contrast, however, kidney Ang II content increases in older animals.More …

Treatment
The goals of treatment are to keep blood glucose levels within normal limits during the pregnancy, and to make sure that the fetus is healthy.
Your health care provider should closely check both you and your fetus throughout the pregnancy. You also can self-monitor your blood glucose levels. Fetal monitoring to check the size and health of the fetus may include ultrasound and nonstress tests.
A nonstress test is a very simple, painless test for you and your baby. A machine that hears and displays your baby's heartbeat (electronic fetal monitor) is placed on your abdomen . When the baby moves, its heart rate normally increases 15 – 20 beats above its regular rate.
Your health care provider can look at the pattern of your baby's heartbeat compared to its movements and find out whether the baby is doing well. The health care provider will look for 3 increases of 15 beats per minute over the baby's normal heart rate , occurring within a 20-minute period.
Managing your diet can give you the calories and nutrients you need for your pregnancy and to control blood glucose levels. You should have nutritional counseling with a registered dietician.

If managing your diet does not control blood glucose levels, you should start insulin therapy. You will need to self-monitor your blood glucose levels during insulin treatment.
Outlook (Prognosis)
There is a slightly increased risk of the fetus or newborn dying when the mother has gestational diabetes. Controlling blood sugar levels reduces the risk to the baby. High blood glucose levels often go back to normal after delivery. However, women with gestational diabetes should be watched closely after giving birth and at regular doctor's appointments to screen for signs of diabetes. Many women with gestational diabetes develop full-blown diabetes within 5 – 10 years after delivery. The risk may be increased in obese women .
Possible Complications
Development of diabetes later in life
Increased risk of newborn death
Low blood glucose or illness in the newborn
Diabetes is a chronic, life long conditiion that requires careful control. Without proper management it can lead to various complications such as cardiovascular disease, kidney failure, blindness and nerve damage.
