Diabetic Counseling During Pregnancy
|
Sweet Success Program
|
Pregnancy can sometimes put a burden on the body's ability to use sugar in the blood. Checking for diabetes in the 7th month of pregnancy is routinely offered to all pregnant women. If diabetes is identified, counseling and medical care can assist the mother in reducing her risk of having birth problems.
Sutter Medical Center of Santa Rosa's Women's Health Resource Center offers a special program called Sweet Success.
