Some pregnant mothers who have not passed the glucose tolerance can keep their blood glucose levels within the desired range through lifestyle intervention. A combination of dietary control, exercise and, if necessary, insulin can be added to help control blood glucose, keeping fasting blood glucose levels within 5.3mmol/L and two-hour postprandial blood glucose levels within 6.7mmol/L.
Glucose tolerance generally refers to the glucose tolerance test (OGTT), which is done between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy to determine whether a pregnant woman has diabetes.
Glucose tolerance test: take 75g of glucose orally, dissolve it in 300ml of water, drink it within 5 minutes, draw fasting blood glucose, and draw blood 1 hour and 2 hours after taking glucose. The normal value of glucose tolerance of pregnant women is fasting blood glucose <5.1mmol/L, blood glucose 1h blood glucose <10mmol/L, blood glucose 2h blood glucose <8.5mmol/L.
1. Dietary control therapy: to ensure balanced distribution of dietary nutrients, according to the patient's activity level, ideal body weight and other factors to formulate the total daily calorie requirements, to maintain a low-sugar, low-fat diet, the distribution of the three meals a day in accordance with the allocation of each 1/3 or 1/5, 2/5, 2/5 to allocate.
2. Physical exercise: It can promote the body's sensitivity to insulin, and then play a role in controlling blood glucose, including jogging, brisk walking and so on.
3. Medication: If the above methods cannot control blood sugar well, insulin can be used to control blood sugar if necessary, such as Dieter's insulin.
Pregnant mothers who need to control blood sugar should standardize the treatment under the guidance of doctors. For more health knowledge of food, you can consult a nutritionist and consume it scientifically and reasonably under the doctor's guidance.
