Patient's question:
I did a glucose tolerance test at 24 weeks: Fasting blood glucose: 4.67 Postprandial 1 hour: 7.14 Postprandial 2 hours: 8.77 (greater than 8.5 is considered elevated) The doctor diagnosed GDM (Gestational Diabetes Mellitus):Doctor's answer:
Hello, gestational diabetes refers to any degree of abnormal glucose tolerance that first appears during pregnancy. Pregnant women should seek timely diagnosis and treatment.Medical Advice: Diagnostic Criteria: Fasting blood glucose > 7.0 mmol/L, postprandial 2-hour blood glucose > 11.1 mmol/L. The patient needs to be retested for the diagnosis to be confirmed. If diabetes is confirmed, active treatment should be initiated to avoid adverse effects on the pregnant woman and fetus. As long as the patient maintains good physical health, it will not affect the child's health.
