How long does gestational diabetes return to normal after childbirth?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. How long does gestational diabetes take to return to normal after childbirth?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be diabetes. Diabetes is caused by damaged islet B cells or insulin resistance. The former is type 1 diabetes, and the latter is type 2 diabetes. The pathogenesis of diabetes is currently not clear, and it cannot be cured clinically; the main goal is to control blood sugar. Currently, surgical treatment is not available. It is recommended to check fasting blood glucose and, if necessary, perform a glycosylated hemoglobin test before starting treatment.
