Patient's question:
I am 28 weeks pregnant. On the first day, the glucose screening test was 50 grams, and 1 hour later it was 16.84. On the second day, a fasting blood glucose test via intravenous blood was 7.84. On the third day, a fasting fingertip blood test showed a glucose level of 5.8, and the hemoglobin A1c was 6.1. Can it be diagnosed as gestational diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Hello: In your case, there is a high possibility of gestational diabetes, and you need to undergo a repeat glucose tolerance test. Fasting blood glucose ≥ 5.8 mmol/L, 1-hour blood glucose ≥ 10.6 mmol/L, 2-hour blood glucose ≥ 9.2 mmol/L, and 3-hour blood glucose ≥ 8.1 mmol/L. If two or more of these criteria are met, it can be diagnosed as gestational diabetes. It is recommended that you go to a diabetes specialty hospital for further detailed examination to accurately evaluate your condition, personalized treatment based on standardized principles, and precise dynamic control. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
