How long can gestational diabetes recover to normal after childbirth?

GDM is especially common during pregnancy. Most people with GDM can control their blood sugar in a satisfactory range through diet control and moderate exercise during pregnancy. only a few people need insulin to control their blood sugar. For patients with GDM, a 75 g ogtt test is performed again at 6 to 8 weeks postpartum to determine the blood sugar situation. Generally, most of them are in the normal range at this time. A small number of women with poorly controlled blood sugar levels need to continue to control their diet, increase exercise, and regularly recheck, and a small number can develop type 2 diabetes.
