Patient's question:
I have gestational diabetes, and I've been controlling my diet in the later stages, but my blood sugar levels are fluctuating and unstable. I'm now 35 weeks and 4 days pregnant and haven't been checking my blood sugar as much, because I always get easily irritated. However, I'm still careful with my diet. If my blood sugar still isn't under control at this stage, will it have a significant impact on the baby and me? I can't exercise much because my cervix is short, and the doctor says it could lead to premature labor, so I can only control my diet to manage my blood sugar! Does this mean my blood sugar won't go down?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you pay more attention to controlling your diet in daily life. The reason why blood sugar is difficult to control is because you often neglect your dietary habits. It is still advisable to prioritize controlling your diet. Try to avoid overly sweet foods as much as possible, and control your portion sizes each day. Additionally, engage in appropriate exercise and regularly monitor your blood sugar to prevent it from rising.The above suggestions are for the question, "How should I pay attention? Controlling blood sugar? Can it be uncontrollable?" I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
