Patient's question:
At 24 weeks of pregnancy, I had a glucose tolerance test and found that my fasting blood sugar, as well as my blood sugar at 1 hour and 2 hours, were all high. It has already been diagnosed as gestational diabetes. I am very worried about affecting my child. Please ask: How should gestational diabetes be treated to recover quickly?Doctor's answer:
Gestational diabetes generally recovers. Early pregnancy can cause latent diabetes to become manifest, where normal glucose metabolism before early pregnancy or potential glucose tolerance decline reappears during pregnancy, termed gestational diabetes. Most patients' glucose metabolism returns to normal after delivery, but the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future increases. If there is no history of diabetes in the family, recovery after delivery is usually possible. Gestational diabetes is a gynecological condition prone to recurrence. During treatment, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients focus on maintaining cleanliness in the vaginal area and follow a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
