Patient's question:
My wife was diagnosed with mild diabetes in the early stages of her pregnancy, but she endured it to have the child. Now she is in her late pregnancy, and I want to understand what to pay attention to in the late stage of gestational diabetes?Doctor's answer:
In the late stage of gestational diabetes, pay attention to your diet, drink plenty of water, and consume sufficient vegetables and fruits. Have one egg and a bag of milk daily, and undergo prenatal check-ups on time. Consume more calcium and iron for better digestion. Regularly listen to the fetal heartbeat and monitor fetal movements. Test your blood sugar and urine regularly. In the late stage of pregnancy, keep your blood sugar level below 5.1. If it becomes severe, seek medical treatment at the hospital. Always be prepared for emergency supplies. Lastly, maintain a positive mood in daily life, as a good mood is very helpful for recovery from the disease.
