A 2-hour postprandial blood glucose value between 4.4 and 6.7 mmo/L is normal in late pregnancy.
Blood glucose control during pregnancy should be tighter than normal. Fasting blood glucose should be maintained at 3.3-5.1 mmol/L and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose should be maintained at 4.4-6.7 mmol/L. Higher blood glucose during pregnancy is likely to have more serious consequences.
Pregnant women with gestational diabetes may experience abnormal embryonic development or stillbirth, excessive amniotic fluid, fetal distress and fetal death in utero, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal hypoglycemia, etc., which can endanger the life of the newborn in severe cases.
Therefore, during pregnancy, pregnant women should have regular checkups, and if found gestational diabetes should be treated in time to avoid serious consequences.
