Regarding the goal of glycemic control in gestational diabetes, the Chinese guidelines for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes say the following: Encourage sampling of fasting and pre-meal glucose, 1-2 hours post-meal glucose and urinary ketone bodies through glucose self-monitoring as much as possible. If possible, fasting and postprandial blood glucose should be measured 4-6 times daily. The goal of blood glucose control is fasting, pre-meal, or bedtime blood glucose of 3.3-5.3 mmol/L, and ≤7.8 mmol/L 1 hour after meal; or ≤6.7 mmol/L 2 hours after meal; HbA1c should be controlled below 6.0% as much as possible.
