High recurrence rate of gestational diabetes in second child

With the implementation of the \”one-child, two-child\” policy, many women are concerned: If the first child suffers from gestational diabetes, will the second child suffer a recurrence? In this regard, Tang Xianyu, deputy chief physician of the Endocrinology Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that when women with gestational diabetes become pregnant again, the recurrence rate is as high as about 50%, which is considerable. Many people with gestational diabetes develop type 2 diabetes years later. For this reason, Tang Xianyu recommends that patients with gestational diabetes go to the hospital for a glucose tolerance test three months after delivery. Receive anti-diabetic treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If the glucose tolerance test results are normal, it means that the symptoms of diabetes have disappeared, but blood sugar still needs to be monitored regularly to detect abnormalities early.

Recently, family doctors conducted an online awareness survey on gestational diabetes prevention, targeting women preparing for pregnancy and expectant mothers during pregnancy. Diabetes screening is not a necessary examination, and there is a lack of vigilance against gestational diabetes.

However, influenced by the concept of \”one person eats and two people nourish\”, many pregnant women are worried about nutritional deficiencies. In addition to three sumptuous meals, they also overeat supplements, fruits, dairy products and other snacks, leading to overnutrition and paving the way for obesity and obesity during pregnancy. Risk of gestational diabetes. The survey found that 54.55% of the women surveyed believed that \”fruit is rich in vitamins and there is no harm in eating more.\” Tang Xianyu said that fruits contain a lot of sugar, and eating too much can easily increase blood sugar. The best time to eat fruit is between meals, and just eat 1-2 fruits each time. (Hu Jing)
