Patient's question:
My fasting blood sugar was diagnosed as 6.0 once and 5.86 once. The doctor believes I have diabetes. Later, I checked my post-meal blood sugar every week for two hours, which were 5.4; 6.8; 7.0, always staying in this state. Now it's past the due date, but there's no reaction yet. The doctor wants me to be hospitalized? How is it necessary to be hospitalized?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is best to be hospitalized. The first time a blood sugar increase is detected, regardless of the original blood sugar level, if it is the first time during pregnancy that blood sugar increases, it can be called gestational diabetes. When gestational diabetes is first discovered, it can be observed by diet and exercise to monitor blood sugar control. If diet and exercise cannot lower blood sugar to the normal range, insulin must be used to control blood sugar, and the insulin dosage should be adjusted in a timely manner based on blood sugar levels.
