Can pregnant women with gestational diabetes drink milk?

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. Can I drink milk if I have gestational diabetes?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women with gestational diabetes can drink milk, but it is important to choose unsweetened milk, which is harmless to the body. Throughout the entire pregnancy, regular follow-up tests for diabetes are necessary to monitor for any increases, and blood sugar-lowering medications should be taken promptly. During pregnancy, it is essential to maintain a stable mood, follow a light diet, and supplement with vitamins and calcium. When you have free time, engage in some physical activity. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain good personal hygiene.
