Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old, recently I feel that I get hungry very easily and my body is quite weak. I haven't had much energy all day. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the result was high blood sugar. Is 4.9 mmol/L normal for a pregnant woman's fasting blood sugar?Doctor's answer:
Diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes: After fasting for 12 hours, oral symptomatic medication is administered. The normal upper limits are: fasting 5.1 mmol/L, 1 hour 10.0 mmol/L, and 2 hours 8.5 mmol/L. If any time point is below these normal values, gestational diabetes can be diagnosed. Your fasting blood glucose is normal. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination in a reputable tertiary hospital as soon as possible according to their own condition to receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
