Patient's question:
High blood sugar during pregnancy, can sweet glutinous rice wine be consumed to restore health after childbirth? I have been monitoring my blood sugar continuously and following the meal plan provided by the nutritionist. Post-meal blood sugar levels are generally maintained within 7.8 within 1 hour, occasionally reaching 8.2.Doctor's answer:
Hello, a normal person's fasting blood glucose is between 3.9~6.1, post-meal 2 hours should not exceed 7.8, and at any time should not exceed 11.1. You are experiencing this due to pregnancy, which may be caused by multiple hormones produced during pregnancy leading to insulin antagonism or accelerated decomposition, thereby increasing blood glucose levels. After pregnancy and delivery, blood glucose may return to normal, but it is important to have regular follow-up check-ups.Advice: Whether you can drink sweet glutinous rice wine postpartum depends on your blood glucose levels after delivery. It is recommended that you consult a physician in the endocrinology department. Rest well, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fiber to slow down glucose absorption, and avoid greasy and spicy foods. Have smaller, more frequent meals, engage in appropriate exercise to consume excess blood glucose, quit smoking and alcohol, and have regular blood glucose check-ups. Seek medical attention promptly if there are any issues.
Wishing you good health!
