Patient's question:
Today I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. The doctor gave me a one-week meal plan and asked me to follow it strictly. However, I was told that the baby is smaller than expected, and I'm worried that following the meal plan might not provide enough nutrients for the baby, which could affect its health. What should I do? Do I have to follow the meal plan strictly?Doctor's answer:
Hello! You have diabetes during pregnancy, which requires dietary control. Advice: Dietary control is very important for diabetes during pregnancy. If your symptoms are mild, generally dietary control can maintain blood sugar within the normal range. It is recommended that you strictly follow the diet plan prescribed by your doctor. Don't worry about the baby—this diet plan can ensure the essential nutrients for both the mother and the fetus and will not affect the baby's health! Wishing you good health!
