Patient's question:
At 25 weeks, I had a detailed OGTT test. Fasting blood sugar was 6.3, one hour after drinking glucose solution was 12.6, and two hours later it was 10.3. It was diagnosed as gestational diabetes. The doctor recommended dietary control and suggested incorporating sufficient physical activity. I am wondering what kind of assistance is available: Can gestational diabetes be cured?Doctor's answer:
Diabetes reappears during pregnancy, also known as gestational diabetes. Most of the time, the mother's glucose metabolism returns to normal after childbirth, but the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future increases. The clinical diagnosis of diabetic pregnancy is complex. It poses significant harm to both the mother and child and must be taken seriously. Specific treatment should be administered under the guidance of an endocrinologist through insulin injections. The specific dosage requires medical guidance, as the injection amount must be adjusted based on dietary sugar content to prevent hypoglycemia. Currently, a small number of people may experience early pregnancy diabetes, which occurs as soon as they become pregnant. If they do not become pregnant, their blood sugar remains normal. Therefore, most adults can return to normal after childbirth, but regular blood sugar checks should still be performed.
