Patient's question:
Medical History (Onset time, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): I was 28 weeks pregnant when the doctor gave me a glucose tolerance test. The results showed that both the one-hour and two-hour blood sugar levels were not qualified. The doctor said this is gestational diabetes. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, just control it appropriately. Try not to eat fruits and pastries with high sugar content, reduce the intake of white flour-based foods, and avoid fried foods. Eat more fresh vegetables, and preferably cook meat and fish by boiling or steaming. Include some coarse grains, drink low-fat milk, and eat more kelp, laver, and mushrooms. Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day, avoid overeating at any one time, and your blood sugar won’t rise too high. Engage in moderate activity after meals. You should regularly test your blood sugar. Wishing you all the best. Gestational diabetes is a gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change their underwear frequently. Finally, wishing female patients a speedy recovery!
