At 22 weeks pregnant, with gestational diabetes and blood sugar at 8.4, is it very serious?

Patient's question:

I have a particularly itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it serious that my blood sugar is 8.4 at 22 weeks of pregnancy with gestational diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnancy-induced combined diabetes requires insulin treatment, a diet that is easy to digest and absorb, avoiding bad stimuli, avoiding cold and raw food, balanced diet with reasonable combination to supplement protein, and it may be considered as calcium deficiency.
Recommendation: Muscle cramps are often caused by calcium deficiency. Calcium supplements such as Luye and Diqiao Calcium can be taken orally. Eat more bone soup, seafood, milk, and other calcium-rich foods. Pay attention to keeping warm while sleeping and avoid overexertion.
