Gestational diabetes refers to individuals who were not diabetic before pregnancy but develop high blood sugar levels due to increased insulin resistance caused by elevated hormone secretion during pregnancy. These patients also need to monitor their blood sugar, typically checking fasting blood sugar, post-meal blood sugar, and bedtime blood sugar to maintain it within a target range, such as keeping fasting levels at 5.60 and post-meal levels below 7.8 to avoid hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia and minimize the risk of low blood sugar. If the blood sugar level exceeds 10 or even higher, such patients may require medication treatment. If the increase is mild, through diet and exercise interventions, blood sugar can generally be controlled within the normal range.
