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, and now I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. What are the causes of gestational diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Hello, gestational diabetes refers to a rise in blood sugar during pregnancy that exceeds the diagnostic criteria for diabetes. Generally, actively controlling diet can gradually alleviate it. Only a very small number of patients may need medication for treatment. Most patients will return to normal after delivery, but a minority may still have high blood sugar, which could develop into diabetes. It is recommended to eat less high-sugar foods and undergo relevant tests promptly.
