The golden recovery period of postpartum blood glucose varies from person to person, most of the mothers recover to normal in 6-8 weeks, and some of them can recover to normal in about half a year, and some of them can be transformed into diabetes and cannot recover for life. If you can recover to normal blood sugar after delivery, you have gestational diabetes, but if you cannot recover to normal blood sugar, you have true diabetes. In gestational diabetes, the mother did not have diabetes before pregnancy and her blood sugar was within the normal range. It may be due to some factors secreted by the placenta that resist insulin, or it may be due to some abnormalities in glucose metabolism before pregnancy. Most of the time, the blood sugar can return to normal within 2 months or 6 months after delivery. During the recovery period, you should follow a diabetic diet to control the overall amount of calories eaten daily. In terms of diet, it is best to eat more grains and cereals, less foods high in sugar, calories, fats and salt, more foods rich in dietary fiber, fresh vegetables, and fruits with lower sugar content can be consumed between meals. Gestational diabetes patients who do not pay attention to weight control may develop type 2 diabetes as they grow older. Even if their blood sugar recovers after giving birth, they should pay attention to weight control in their ordinary lives.
