Gestational diabetes

Pharmacist's advice

In addition to carefully selecting supplements, diet is key in controlling gestational diabetes. It is recommended to divide food into three smaller main meals and two to three snacks to avoid sudden spikes and drops in blood sugar. Focus on complex, fiber-rich carbohydrates, such as whole grains and vegetables, while simple sugars should be strictly avoided. Always consult your gynecologist and endocrinologist regularly before introducing any new preparations during pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Are dietary supplements for sugar regulation completely safe for the baby?
Yes, the products in this category are specially selected and formulated to be completely safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, without interfering with the proper development of the fetus.

2. Will I still have gestational diabetes after giving birth?
In most cases, gestational diabetes resolves shortly after delivery when the hormonal status stabilizes. However, women who have had it carry a slightly increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life, so it is extremely important to continue with healthy lifestyle habits.
