Patient's question:
Unfortunately, during my pregnancy, gestational diabetes reappeared, which required my pregnancy diet to be strictly controlled by the doctor. However, no one in our family has ever had diabetes, so the doctor said that after giving birth, my blood sugar levels would return to normal quickly and completely, and there was no need to worry.What kind of help is needed: Can gestational diabetes be completely recovered from after childbirth?
Doctor's answer:
Do you know if your family has a history of diabetes? If you have a family history of diabetes, you may become a true diabetic after giving birth to your baby. If you don't have a family history of diabetes but only have gestational diabetes, the mother's blood sugar can return to normal after giving birth. Check your fasting blood sugar 60 days postpartum to ensure complete recovery. With proper daily care, everything will be fine. Mothers with diabetes will not have any special toxins in their milk, so they can breastfeed their babies.
