Patient's question:
Diabetes during pregnancy, baby is nine months old, want to test the baby's blood sugar, three or four hours after feeding, don't know when to test blood sugar, what is the normal blood sugar valueDoctor's answer:
Hello, the diagnostic criteria for childhood diabetes are stricter than those for adults. Normal blood glucose levels in children: fasting blood glucose < 7.2 millimoles per liter (130 milligrams per deciliter), and 2 hours after oral glucose < 7.8 millimoles per liter (140 milligrams per deciliter).A diagnosis can only be made if there are typical diabetes symptoms, and at any time during the day, blood glucose is found to be 11.1 millimoles per liter (200 milligrams per deciliter), or if not only one fasting blood glucose is ≥ 7.8 millimoles per liter (140 milligrams per deciliter), and both 2 hours after glucose ingestion and fasting to 2 hours blood glucose are ≥ 11.1 millimoles per liter (200 milligrams per deciliter).
Diagnostic criteria for impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in children: fasting blood glucose ≤ 7.8 millimoles per liter (140 milligrams per deciliter), and 2 hours after glucose ingestion > 7.8 millimoles per liter (140 milligrams per deciliter), or even if both 2 hours after glucose ingestion and fasting to 2 hours blood glucose > 11.1 millimoles per liter (200 milligrams per deciliter), it is classified as impaired glucose tolerance.
