A woman with gestational diabetes asks how to reduce pregnancy complications. Which statement shows correct understanding of teaching?
Correct answer: B. I should monitor glucose and follow my prescribed meal plan
- A. I should skip meals when my glucose level is high
- B. I should monitor glucose and follow my prescribed meal plan
- C. I can stop monitoring once fetal movements are normal
- D. I should take extra sugar before every antenatal visit
Explanation
Regular glucose monitoring and adherence to the prescribed meal plan help maintain maternal glucose control and reduce complications. Fetal movement does not replace glucose monitoring, and skipping meals may worsen metabolic instability.
