With the popularization of scientific knowledge and the advent of the Internet era, pregnant women have more and more knowledge and experience about gestational diabetes, but some pregnant women do have misconceptions about gestational diabetes screening and diagnosis. On the Internet, we often see the “secret” of avoiding three blood tests for glucose tolerance, some of them say, “Don’t sit down after drinking sugar water, but walk more, it’s better to climb the stairs, so that your blood sugar will be normal”, and others tell Some said, “Don’t eat staple food three days before the blood draw, and your blood sugar will be fine”, and some suggested, “Review the glucose screening once, don’t check the glucose tolerance easily, the four tubes of blood of pregnant women are so precious”, and some said, “I ate too much in early pregnancy. I had eaten too much during my early pregnancy, so I just had to control my diet afterwards, and it was too scary to have three blood draws.

Why is it necessary to do a confirmatory test for gestational diabetes? Because if gestational diabetes is not diagnosed, then failure to properly control diet and monitor and regulate blood glucose can result in giant babies, intrauterine growth retardation, neonatal birth injuries, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal hypoglycemia (which can affect the baby’s brain if not examined and treated in time), and even diabetic ketoacidosis; if gestational diabetes is not diagnosed, then the doctor will not monitor and treat the mother and baby according to the routine for gestational diabetes, with the possibility of inappropriate medication or delayed treatment opportunities, and some elective cesarean deliveries can lead to artificial neonatal respiratory distress due to early gestational weeks; if it is not gestational diabetes but no diagnostic test is performed, the pregnant woman will definitely control her diet strictly due to fear of complications of gestational diabetes, which in turn can lead to intrauterine fetal growth retardation, hypoglycemia in the pregnant woman and the fetus, among other problems.
