Patient's question:
My sister has diabetes. Do you need to be hospitalized for gestational diabetes? Will it affect the baby?Doctor's answer:
Pregnancy diabetes does not require hospitalization. It can be managed by paying attention to a proper diet in daily life, avoiding sugary foods, and controlling blood sugar. Pregnancy diabetes may lead to risks such as fetal malformation, fetal macrosomia, and abnormal fetal growth and development. Therefore, a light diet should be the foundation of daily meals, and high-sugar, high-protein foods should be avoided.
