Patient's question:
Pregnant at 28 weeks, glucose screening with fasting blood sugar of 5.0, 12.3 one hour after taking glucose. The doctor diagnosed gestational diabetes and recommended dietary control and more exercise. However, after two weeks of control, it hasn’t been ideal. Fasting blood sugar is between 5.0-5.4, but post-meal levels are unstable, ranging from 6.4-8.7. The diet generally consists of coarse grains, with limited intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods, but most feel they are not eating enough. I want to ask how I should control or treat this, and whether always feeling hungry will affect the baby’s development?Doctor's answer:
Hello, diet should be light meals, low salt and low fat, moderate exercise, but ensure the fetus develops normally under the premise, try to control as much as possible. Hi, in this case, it is recommended to take metformin and glyburide orally for treatment. It is necessary to control the diet. Suggestions: Avoid high-glycemic index foods in diet, there is no need to avoid other things, eat light meals, eat at fixed times and quantities, try to eat coarse processed food, eating whole grains is better.
