How to treat gestational diabetes well after diagnosis

Patient's question:

It is very frightening to encounter this situation. I often experience lower abdominal pain and don't know how to resolve it, so I came here for consultation. Could you please advise on how to treat gestational diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

To prevent the recurrence of gestational diabetes, most people understand that it involves increasing activity during pregnancy and preventing overnutrition. However, experts cite that exercising regularly 4 to 6 months before pregnancy is more beneficial in preventing the recurrence of gestational diabetes than increasing activity during pregnancy and preventing overnutrition. Additionally, the effectiveness of exercise in preventing gestational diabetes varies with intensity. Compared to women who walk slowly, women who walk normally and briskly have a 70% lower relative risk of recurrence. If you don't engage in intense exercise, walking and climbing stairs moderately can also effectively reduce the risk of recurrence.
