Patient's question:
What is the normal range for gestational diabetes? Are these reports normal? Is it necessary to test your fingers daily?Doctor's answer:
For most people, normal fasting blood glucose levels should remain within the range of 3.9~6.1 mmol/L. However, due to the of pregnant women, the normal blood glucose level for pregnant women is set more strictly, with a fasting blood glucose normal range of 3.1-5.6 mmol/L. The normal post-meal 2-hour blood glucose level for pregnant women is specified to be no lower than 8.5 mmol/L. Although your blood glucose test results are higher than the normal range, they do not meet the diagnostic criteria for diabetes, or in other words, your blood glucose control is still quite good. Pay attention to eating less sugary foods and you don't need to test your blood glucose every day.
