Can gestational diabetes resolve on its own after giving birth?

Patient's question:

Female, 23 years old, after getting sick, taking medicine had no effect, still not feeling well, please ask: Can gestational diabetes resolve on its own after giving birth?

Doctor's answer:

This is gestational diabetes. After conception, the condition tends to improve, but it places you in a high-risk group for diabetes. It is recommended to monitor blood sugar levels regularly. Generally, a test should be conducted six months after conception, and a glucose tolerance test can be performed. If the results are normal, you can take preventive measures against diabetes, such as controlling dietary intake, balancing meat and vegetables, managing total consumption, regulating daily calorie intake, engaging in appropriate exercise, and increasing abdominal circumference. Adding abdominal fat can help reduce insulin resistance.
