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 confirmed 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 mainly consists of coarse grains, with limited intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods, but generally, I feel hungry. I want to ask how I should control or treat it, and whether always feeling hungry will affect the baby's development?Doctor's answer:
Hello, diet should be small meals and frequent eating, low salt and low fat, moderate exercise, but it must be ensured that the fetus is developing normally, and it should be controlled as much as possible.
