The upper limit of normal fasting blood glucose for the average person is 6.1 mmol/L, and the upper limit of normal 1-hour postprandial blood glucose is 11.1 mmol/L. For pregnant women, who consume more and have a faster metabolism, the upper limit of normal fasting blood glucose for pregnant women is somewhat lower than for the average person, at 5.1 mmol/L.
The fasting blood glucose of 5.3 mmol/L is clearly beyond the normal value standard, and elevated blood glucose during pregnancy is a relatively common phenomenon.
Exceeding the blood glucose limit during pregnancy has many adverse effects on both the mother and the fetus, including a tendency to cause nutritional imbalance and overweight in the fetus. Therefore, excessive blood glucose during pregnancy requires intervention and control.
Women with high blood glucose during pregnancy can pay attention to adjusting their dietary structure by adopting a pattern of eating less and more meals with more fruits and vegetables and coarse grains and cereals; and pay attention to increasing physical activity. If you still can’t control your blood sugar well, then you should go to the hospital to seek professional help to control your blood sugar to a healthy level in time.
