Patient's question:
My wife got gestational diabetes during her pregnancy and now she needs to have a follow-up check after giving birth. How is the postpartum follow-up for gestational diabetes?Doctor's answer:
You can check fasting blood glucose and post-meal blood glucose for two hours. You can also check glycosylated hemoglobin. See how the blood glucose is still high. Some people with gestational diabetes return to normal after giving birth and no longer have diabetes. I hope your wife pays attention to her diet, ensures a balanced nutritional combination, and guarantees the nutritional supply for breastfeeding. You can also have a comprehensive health check-up. Check how blood lipid cholesterol levels have increased and whether there are abnormalities in liver and kidney function.
