How many weeks to check for gestational diabetes?

Patient's question:

How many weeks should be checked for gestational diabetes? Can people with diabetes not eat sugar? What is good to eat?

Doctor's answer:

The current incidence rate of gestational diabetes is relatively high, and in addition to dietary factors, it is also related to the placenta's resistance to insulin after pregnancy. Once diagnosed with gestational diabetes, it is necessary to first control blood sugar through dietary methods based on the condition. For example, patients should eat low-sugar foods, and avoid all sweet, starch-containing, and high-fat foods. Then, the doctor should develop a dietary plan for the patient. Follow the plan accordingly.
