Increased urine glucose during pregnancy can be caused by diabetes or by a physiological decrease in the renal glucose threshold due to excessive consumption of sweets.
One urine sugar increase alone is not enough to determine the condition; if diabetes is a concern, a fasting blood glucose test should be performed. If the blood glucose level exceeds 5.1 mmol/L, it is a sign of diabetes, which is then combined with a glucose tolerance test to further determine diabetes.
Higher blood glucose during pregnancy has serious adverse effects on fetal development because the higher the maternal blood glucose, the lower the fetal blood glucose, which may cause miscarriage, stillbirth, or even cause malformations. After the diagnosis, according to the height of blood sugar level, it is necessary to take dietary methods to control blood sugar, according to the individual’s physical condition, take regular and quantitative diet, diet should reduce staple food, increase vegetables, can eat lean meat appropriately, do not limit the use of pure milk, prohibit the use of sweet food and fatty and greasy food. If the blood sugar is relatively high and the blood sugar is not well controlled by dietary methods, it needs to be combined with insulin to control the blood sugar, and the amount of activity needs to be increased appropriately every day within the body’s permissible range.
And when fasting tests are performed to detect normal blood glucose, the simple increase in urine glucose may be related to the previous diet and will return to normal naturally, just watch your diet.
