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 is the treatment for gestational diabetes better?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you can use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. You can use yin-nourishing medications, such as Ophiopogon japonicus, Asparagus cochinchinensis, Dendrobium candidum, and Panax pseudostellatus. Boil Shiitake mushrooms in water and drink it daily. Appropriate digestion of trace elements selenium and chromium, as well as foods like eggs, peanuts, malt, liver, garlic, and mushrooms, can be beneficial. For Western medicine treatment, insulin can be chosen. The recurrence of gestational diabetes poses a serious threat to women's health, and personal hygiene should be paid attention to. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive standardized treatment.
