Why does weight loss occur when controlling gestational diabetes?

Patient's question:

After getting pregnant, I developed gestational diabetes. The doctor told me to control my diet, but now I've lost weight. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, if gestational diabetes is controlled and weight loss after delivery is not significant, it generally has minimal impact on both the mother and the fetus, so there is no need to worry excessively. However, it is recommended that pregnant women pay close attention and monitor their condition, seeking medical examination if necessary. Avoiding sweet and spicy foods is advisable.
If gestational diabetes occurs again during pregnancy, there is no need to be overly concerned. In addition to dietary control, maintaining sufficient daily activity is essential to strengthen the body. Regular prenatal glucose monitoring is sufficient.
