Pregnant women’s blood glucose values exceed the normal value after the higher the more serious, mainly combined with different time breaks to determine.
The normal value of fasting blood glucose is 3.3-6.1mmol/L; in the glucose tolerance test from 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy, the value is <5.1mmol/L in fasting, <10.0mmol/L in 1 hour after meal, and <8.5mmol/L in 2 hours after meal.
Pregnant women whose blood sugar reaches or exceeds the above normal values are considered hyperglycemic, and the higher the value, the more unfavorable the effect on the fetus. Blood glucose at a high level for a long time may eventually lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, etc. in pregnant women, and malformations, macrosomia, growth restriction, miscarriage and preterm labor in fetuses.
In case of elevated blood glucose during pregnancy, a combination of diet, exercise and blood glucose monitoring should be chosen first. If the results are not satisfactory, then treatment options such as insulin should be added under the guidance of a doctor.
