Question
What are the symptoms of gestational diabetes?
Answer
The symptoms of gestational diabetes may include polyuria, polyphagia, polydipsia, and weight loss (three more and one less), as well as early pregnancy fungal infections, severe vomiting, and increased risk of late infections. Pregnant women over 30 years old, those with a family history of diabetes, obesity, a history of miscarriage or preterm birth or stillbirth, chronic hypertension, positive urine sugar, recurrent infections, macrosomia, or polyhydramnios may experience these symptoms. If these symptoms are found, a glucose tolerance test should be conducted for diagnosis. Gestational diabetes can be prevented and managed through regular physical examinations and dietary guidance. After delivery, the blood glucose levels of most gestational diabetes patients can return to normal, but some patients may develop diabetes.
