Question

During the pregnancy check-up, high blood pressure and high blood sugar were detected, with post-meal blood sugar reaching 10.4, and abnormal urine protein. Can the blood sugar level return to normal after giving birth?

Answer

Generally speaking, blood sugar levels can return to normal after giving birth. It is recommended to relax and enjoy a peaceful postpartum period, while controlling your diet. Further blood sugar checks can be done postpartum. Typically, blood sugar levels can return to normal by the time of the one-month check-up, but the exact time for recovery varies from person to person. You can breastfeed normally after giving birth and should encourage your baby to drink plenty of water.
