Patient's question:
Five and a half months pregnant, diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Currently being treated with insulin, but fasting blood sugar is still between 4.8 and 5.4, while post-meal two-hour readings are normal. Moreover, when fasting blood sugar is in the 4.x range, urine copper tests show one or two plus signs. In my case, how can I find a balance between blood sugar and urine copper levels?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your condition is gestational diabetes. Currently, your blood sugar control is relatively ideal, but it is prone to recurring ketone bodies in urine. Regarding your situation, it is recommended that you try to eat small meals frequently and monitor your blood sugar data. Your fasting blood sugar and post-meal blood sugar appear to be quite good at the moment. Gestational diabetes is a gynecological disease that is prone to occurring. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of nursing. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to hygiene. A clean and light diet is recommended as the foundation.
