Patient's question:
Gestational diabetes, postpartum 42-day re-examination 75g glucose tolerance test fasting 5.5, 2 hours 8.4. How can this condition be completely restored? How long does it usually take for glucose tolerance to be completely restored after childbirth?Doctor's answer:
Hello, gestational diabetes refers to any degree of abnormal glucose tolerance that first or repeatedly appears during early pregnancy. Pregnant women should seek timely diagnosis. Diagnostic criteria: fasting blood glucose > 7.0 mmol/L, postprandial 2 hours > 11.1 mmol/L. The patient needs to be retested for confirmation before the diabetes team can be established. Active treatment should be initiated to avoid adverse effects on the pregnant woman and fetus. As long as the patient maintains good physical health, it will never affect the child's health.
