Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected. Now I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. How long should I take insulin for gestational diabetes?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, if you discover gestational diabetes and find that diet and exercise cannot control blood sugar, then insulin must be used. Insulin should be used continuously until after delivery. During the period of insulin treatment, it is important to carefully monitor blood sugar fluctuations. Fasting blood sugar should be controlled at 5.3, and post-meal blood sugar should be below 6.7. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
