Patient's question:
I have gestational diabetes, and I've been controlling my diet during the later stages, but my blood sugar levels are still fluctuating and unstable. Now I'm 35 weeks and 4 days pregnant, and I don't check my blood sugar as often anymore because I always get inflamed. 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 more because my cervix is short, and the doctor says it could lead to premature birth, so the only option is to 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. The reason why blood sugar is difficult to control is because you do not pay attention to your dietary habits. It is still recommended that you focus on controlling your diet, try to avoid overly sweet foods, and control your portion sizes every 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 it helps you. Wishing you good health!
