Question
Patient, female, 26 years old, healthy before pregnancy with no history of diabetes, diagnosed with gestational diabetes during pregnancy. After diet control, there has been improvement. The postpartum blood glucose test is normal. What should be paid attention to in terms of diet after giving birth?
Answer
Generally, patients who have had gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing diabetes in the future. It is recommended that patients control their weight and diet, and engage in moderate exercise. While it is not necessary to engage in high-intensity exercise every day, maintaining an appropriate level of physical activity is very helpful for controlling blood sugar levels.
