 Regular physical activity is used to keep blood sugar levels lower as a part of treatment for gestational diabetes, because contracting muscles help stimulate glucose transport. Non-weight-bearing exercises such as stationary cycling, swimming, and arm exercises, may be most suitable for these patients, to improve and maintain glucose homeostasis.
The maternal heart rate should not exceed 140 beats per
minute. Along with the exercise program, women with
gestational diabetes should follow a daily balanced
American Diabetes Association diet of 30 kcal/kg ideal
body weight.

Ambition or arrogance?
 Too many people confuse ambition with arrogance, and then wonder why it fails them.
The distinctions between ambition and arrogance are sometimes subtle, yet critical. From a distance, the two can appear to be the same. However, their results are worlds apart.
Ambition is expecting the best of yourself. Arrogance is believing you are better than others. Ambition is the desire to make a difference. Arrogance is the belief that you're indispensable. Ambition is doing whatever it takes to accomplish what you know you deserve. Arrogance is thinking that the world owes you something, and doing what you can to take it. Ambition is disciplined and assertive. Arrogance is pushy. Ambition is responsible and respectful. Arrogance is destructive and disdainful.
Are you driven by ambition or arrogance? Arrogance will drive you into the ground. Ambition will drive you to the top.
