Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation. Carriage returns (`\n`) are left as they are:Last week I had the glucose tolerance test. Except for the fasting blood sugar, the one-hour and two-hour blood sugar values were both high. The doctor said that having elevated values in two of these blood sugar tests is enough to diagnose gestational diabetes. I am really anxious now. Could you please ask: \n
How should gestational diabetes be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, your blood sugar level is okay after meals, but it's higher when fasting. In fact, gestational diabetes is quite harmful. If you want to try dietary control, you can first reduce your intake of staple foods, eat until you're about 80% full, and avoid eating anything after 10 PM. Also, limit your consumption of easily digestible foods like porridge to see if your blood sugar can be controlled. If it doesn't work, you may need to take insulin. High blood sugar can create a poor intrauterine environment, which is not good for the baby's growth and development. For gestational diabetes patients, in addition to medication, it's also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Lastly, women with gestational diabetes must be reminded to undergo regular follow-up tests!
