Can diet control gestational diabetes?

Patient's question:

Pregnant for a while, went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

Doctor's answer:

Hello!
You have diabetes during pregnancy, which requires dietary control.
Suggestions:
Dietary control is very important for diabetes during pregnancy. If your symptoms are mild, dietary control alone can usually maintain blood sugar within the normal range.
It is recommended that you strictly follow the meal plan prescribed by your doctor to control your diet. Don't worry about the baby—this meal plan is generally sufficient to ensure the essential nutrients for both the mother and the fetus and will not affect the baby's health!
