Patient's question:
Before getting pregnant, my blood sugar was 5.2. Now that I'm 5 months pregnant, my blood sugar is 5.4—is it gestational diabetes? What should I do?Help from Aixiu: Can it be diagnosed as diabetes? What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, pregnant women have increased tolerance to blood sugar, so the normal fasting blood sugar level for pregnant women needs to be much lower. If it is below 5.1, it requires attention.Recommendation:
- Revisit the hospital and conduct three consecutive days of fasting blood sugar tests.
- Pay attention to dietary control, with a low-sugar diet as the foundation. Eat more vegetables, whole grains, and high-protein foods.
- Advise the patient to pay more attention to their diet in daily life and avoid stimulating foods.
- Get plenty of rest!
