Patient's question:
How many times do you need to draw blood for gestational diabetes screening? Is it enough to be fasting in the morning? Do you need to fast after 8 pm the previous night?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Diabetes screening during pregnancy has become a routine part of prenatal care. With continuously improving living standards, more and more pregnant women have high body mass index and nutritional excess, leading to an increasing incidence of gestational diabetes.Advice: The expectant mother should have a light diet the night before blood draw, avoiding rich foods like large fish and meat. On the day of blood draw, she should fast. Wishing you good health.
