Patient's question:
My wife is 5 weeks pregnant and had an early prenatal check-up two days ago. The doctor said the test results showed diabetes and advised us to pay attention to our diet and not to consume too much sugar. I would like to ask, what are the self-test symptoms of gestational diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy-induced diabetes is a rather troublesome condition. If diagnosed with it, it is essential to pay close attention. At home, you can carefully observe for the following symptoms: The most prominent are "three more and one less," which means excessive eating, excessive drinking, and weight loss despite increased appetite. Sometimes it may also be accompanied by nausea. Nausea reflects a condition different from pregnancy-related nausea, and the nausea caused by pregnancy-induced diabetes is often more severe. In severe cases, it may even lead to electrolyte imbalances. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
