Patient's question:
I am 18 weeks pregnant, without anesthesia insulin, blood sugar is 6.1 mmol/L fasting, 10.9 mmol/L after 1 hour of meal, and 6.2 mmol/L after 2 hours. Do I have gestational diabetes? I feel that my blood sugar is particularly high after 1 hour of meal and I'm quite worried! How can I confirm if I have gestational diabetes? I feel that my blood sugar is particularly high after 1 hour of meal and I'm quite worried!Doctor's answer:
The normal range for fasting blood glucose is 3.9-6.1, and post-meal blood glucose two hours later should be below 7.8. Your results are all within the normal range, so please don't worry.The diagnostic criteria for diabetes generally include symptoms such as excessive thirst, hunger, frequent urination, and weight loss, along with random blood glucose tests consistently above 11.1. However, your post-meal one-hour blood glucose test does not meet this standard, and one hour after a meal is when blood glucose levels are at their peak. Therefore, your condition is normal.
