Patient's question:
On April 16th, I underwent a gestational diabetes screening. I took 50 grams of glucose on an empty stomach (mixed with one paper cup of water) and had my blood drawn one hour later for testing. The result was 5.5 mmol/L. Is this within the normal range?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the situation you mentioned is currently within the normal range. Don't worry, as this is usually a glucose tolerance test, and as long as it doesn't exceed 10 mmol, it is considered normal. Therefore, it can be ruled out that you have gestational diabetes.Advice: It is recommended that you now enhance your nutrition, undergo regular prenatal check-ups, and maintain a positive mood. If you are in the second trimester of pregnancy, you can also supplement with calcium, which helps in the development of the baby's bones.
Doctor's inquiry: How many weeks pregnant are you now?
