Patient's question:
During pregnancy, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Through dietary control, my blood sugar index is well-managed, and I haven't needed insulin. I'm not sure what I should pay special attention to during the postpartum recovery period. How long after giving birth should I continue to control my diet?Doctor's answer:
Hello, Gestational Diabetes refers to any degree of abnormal glucose tolerance that first appears during pregnancy. Pregnant women should seek timely diagnosis and treatment.Medical Advice: Diagnostic Criteria: Fasting blood glucose > 7.0 mmol/L, postprandial 2-hour blood glucose > 11.1 mmol/L. The patient needs to be retested for the diagnosis to be confirmed. If diabetes is confirmed, active treatment should be initiated to avoid adverse effects on the pregnant woman and fetus. As long as the patient maintains good physical health, it will not affect the child's health.
