Patient's question:
A high-risk pregnant woman, who also dislikes sweet foods, is unsure if this is the reason. Is a urine glucose reading of 1+ normal during prenatal tests?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, glucose should not reappear in a routine pregnancy test urine test. If glucose reappears with a plus sign, it is first necessary to have a fasting blood glucose test. If there is a high fasting blood glucose level, it may indicate the possibility of pre-diabetes. If the fasting blood glucose is normal, it may be related to your usual consumption of sweet foods. You now need to appropriately control your intake of sweet foods, as well as control your consumption of starchy foods, and regularly monitor your blood glucose levels.
