Dietary and physical activity changes been shown to effectively normalize blood glucose levels and to decrease the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes in some women. If treatment goals are not met, gestational diabetes increases risk of spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, congenital anomalies, and neonatal death. Risk factors associated with developing gestational diabetes include excess body fat, unhealthy dietary patterns, and low physical activity levels.
