Patient's question:
Pregnant for 8 months, discovered excessive amniotic fluid, fasting blood sugar 8Doctor's answer:
Hello! I don’t know if you have had diabetes before. Now that you are eight months pregnant, a fasting blood sugar of 8 is a bit high. It is normal for blood sugar to fluctuate or be slightly elevated during pregnancy. During pregnancy, both the mother and the baby need energy, especially the fetus. However, excessively high blood sugar can affect the baby’s growth and development, particularly the development of the pancreas. Since this is only a single high fasting blood sugar reading and you haven’t tested your post-meal blood sugar, I recommend that you undergo a systematic examination for a glucose tolerance test, C-peptide and insulin release test, glycosylated hemoglobin, and liver and kidney function tests at a specialized hospital in your area. If the tests show abnormalities, you should follow the guidance of a specialist doctor for systematic and standardized treatment. Wishing you good health!
