What must a woman do when she is suffering from gestational diabetes? -Sunanda M, Tambaram

Gestational diabetes is prevalent among women during pregnancy. Due to high blood sugar levels in a mother circulated through the placenta to the baby, gestational diabetes must be controlled to protect the baby's growth and development. It is therefore important for a woman to plan out her meal carefully to ensure adequate pregnancy nutrients without excess fat and calories. She must exercise daily, control her weight and take insulin to control blood sugar levels if needed.

I suffer from nosebleeds at times. What should I do? - Leela Mohan, Meenambakkam

A sudden nosebleed is rarely serious. If you have frequent nosebleeds, you could have a more serious problem. Dry air is the most common cause of nosebleeds, besides a history of some injury. If the nose is constantly dry, or if there is too much pollution, it can cause nosebleeds. It is therefore important to consult a doctor.
