Summary

This study will test whether walking for 20 minutes after each meal helps pregnant women with type 2 diabetes keep their blood sugar in a healthy range. Forty women will be split into two groups: one that walks after meals and one that does not. The goal is to see if this simple activity can improve glucose control during pregnancy.
