Patient's question:
After getting pregnant, weight increased by 30 pounds. Currently at 30 weeks of pregnancy, blood sugar test results are as follows: fasting blood sugar 5.43, blood sugar after one hour of glucose intake 11.6, and blood sugar after two hours of glucose intake 10.2. How should this situation be handled and is hospitalization treatment necessary?Doctor's answer:
Dear Consultee,From your carefully checked results, fasting blood glucose is within the normal range but slightly elevated. Both one-hour and two-hour post-meal blood glucose levels are below normal, which can be diagnosed as gestational diabetes. It is best to stay in the hospital for some time of care and, if necessary, insulin can be used for treatment. Pay attention to restricting diet and sugar intake in daily life. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
