Patient's question:
I am 37 weeks pregnant and have had several tests at the hospital showing very high blood sugar levels. The doctor asked me to manage it myself, mainly by eating some coarse grains and certain hypoglycemic vegetables, but my blood sugar levels still haven't come down. I'm worried it might affect the fetus. I would like to ask, what should pregnant women with diabetes pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
If blood sugar levels rise abnormally again during the late stages of pregnancy, it is considered that the patient may be suitable and may have gestational diabetes. Therefore, it is recommended that the patient first implement self-care by controlling their diet and increasing the intake of sugary foods. If blood sugar levels still cannot be effectively controlled, insulin must be used to regulate blood sugar. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly undergo prenatal examinations. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
