Type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with gestational diabetes mellitus requires medication as well as dietary intervention and moderate activity.
1. Medication: During pregnancy, it is not suitable for pregnant women to take oral medication, and they can switch to insulin injections to control their blood sugar. Insulin is a hormone in the human body, which generally does not affect the growth and development of the fetus. The insulin commonly used for gestational diabetes are Diet insulin and Menthol insulin.
2. Dietary intervention: Pregnant women with diabetes have to be more strict in dietary intervention than ordinary diabetic patients. They must maintain a low-glucose diet, control the calorie intake of each meal under the guidance of specialists, eat less and more often, and need to undergo regular blood glucose monitoring.
3. Moderate activity: It is recommended that pregnant women should have moderate activity, not long standing or sedentary, otherwise it is also not conducive to the body’s blood sugar control.
When type 2 diabetes mellitus is combined with gestational diabetes mellitus, pregnant women need to continue to actively control their blood sugar after delivery. Because type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that cannot be cured. Pregnant women with diabetes must actively control their blood sugar to avoid serious complications that could jeopardize the growth and development of the fetus.
