Answer to Question 1

B
Gestational diabetes is generally treated using dietary control and moderate exercise. These measures help regulate weight gain; weight loss is not recommended during pregnancy. Dietary control may include limiting sugar intake, but it is not necessary to avoid it completely. If gesta-tional diabetes cannot be controlled using diet and exercise, insulin may be used, but oral di-abetes mediations are not used during pregnancy.
