Patient's question:
My friend is pregnant. She had a thorough check-up about four and a half months ago and was told she has gestational diabetes. When is the best time to do the test for accuracy? What is the normal range? How much blood sugar is normal for gestational diabetes?Doctor's answer:
The blood sugar level of a normal pregnant woman is usually lower than normal, rarely below 5.6 mmol/L. The diagnosis of blood sugar requires based on fasting blood sugar results, so now it is necessary to combine the patient's fasting blood sugar to confirm whether the blood sugar level during pregnancy is normal. Before the final exam, you can skip breakfast in the morning and then take the test, but there may be pregnant women with high blood sugar, that is, gestational diabetes. Don't worry too much, it is usually better after delivery. Gestational diabetes is an easily occurring gynecological disease.
