Patient's question:
During her pregnancy, my colleague wasn't feeling well, so I accompanied her to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor told her that she had gestational diabetes. What should one pay attention to in their diet when they have gestational diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Glucose tolerance test during pregnancy: Post-meal blood sugar levels should decrease within one to two hours. This condition should be caused by gestational diabetes. The decline in blood sugar levels is not a special dryness and is not a particularly serious interference. If currently diagnosed with gestational diabetes, it is important to pay attention to a balanced diet and nutrition to ensure the normal growth and development of the fetus. At the same time, it is necessary to strictly control total calorie intake and appropriately increase physical activity.
