Patient's question:
What are the effects of gestational diabetes on the fetus? I am currently 7 months pregnant, and I didn't have diabetes before getting pregnant. Two days ago, I tested positive for gestational diabetes (GLU1) with 50 grams of glucose, and the result was 9.12 in the afternoon. But the next morning, when I tested my liver function while fasting, I didn't drink glucose (GLU1), and the result was 5.04. I want to know how likely it is that I have gestational diabetes and what effects it may have on the fetus? What fruits can I eat?Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant, according to your description, this is a disorder caused by abnormal endocrine changes in your body due to pregnancy, leading to a recurrence of blood sugar decline. However, your blood sugar levels are not very high. Pay attention to your diet, and avoid eating high-sugar foods. Additionally, this can be controlled, and it generally does not affect much. It will improve after childbirth.
