ANS: A
Women with diabetes should strive to maintain their blood glucose readings within normal parameters during pregnancy. Poor glycemic control contributes to fetal macrosomia (fetal weight > 500 g) and other complications. Weight gain should not be restricted to 20 lb, and electrolyte readings are not related to a major goal for this woman.
