Does gestational diabetes cause problems? Does it affect the baby?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Okay, recently my urine ketone test results have always been high. I had a glucose tolerance test, and the results were normal for both the fasting and one-hour measurements. However, the two-hour result was 9.49, which the doctor said is high. Is this gestational diabetes? The doctor recommended controlling my diet. I'm wondering if this will have any impact on the baby? Does this mean the baby will be more prone to getting diabetes later in life?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after reading your description, I have a basic understanding of the situation.
To say, it might be that your blood sugar has been a bit high recently, but the baby doesn't necessarily have to get diabetes.
Advice: You are currently in the pre-delivery period, and it is normal to fast for an hour. This could be due to hormonal levels, so there's nothing to worry about.
You can currently control your blood sugar levels by managing your diet.
1. Starches, especially steamed buns, should be eaten in moderation. This is because wheat contains a relatively high amount of fructose.
2. Fruits should be controlled and not eaten excessively. Fruits high in sugar, such as apples, bananas, etc., should be eaten in moderation.
3. Drink more milk, drink water appropriately, eat small meals frequently, and this will be fine.
