How to deal with gestational diabetes?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. What should I do about gestational diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

If gestational diabetes requires relief based on blood sugar levels and the presence of complications, in general, when blood sugar is too high, insulin should be used under the guidance of a doctor to control blood sugar. For patients with complications, such as retinopathy or diabetic nephropathy, medication should be cautiously used for relief under the guidance of a doctor. If blood sugar is only slightly high, dietary restrictions are sufficient without the need for medication. Symptoms usually subside within two months postpartum.
