Patient's question:
Can pregnant women with gestational diabetes drink soup?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women with gestational diabetes can drink soup. After fasting for 12 hours, measure fasting blood glucose, then consume 75g of glucose powder orally and measure blood glucose at 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours after consumption. If two or more of these measurements are equal to or exceed normal values, gestational diabetes can be diagnosed. For confirmed diabetic pregnant women, active treatment should be initiated to control blood glucose within the normal range, thereby reducing the incidence of maternal and fetal complications.
