Patient's question:
At 26 weeks pregnant, I ate too many fruits in the early stages of pregnancy and had a very high appetite. Test results: fasting GLU is 5.8 mmol/L, one hour later GLU is 11.4 mmol/L, and two hours later GLU is 6.8.8 mmol/L (reference range: 3.9-6.1). Both 4D color Doppler ultrasound and 2D fetal heart color Doppler ultrasound were normal.Past treatment history and effectiveness: The results were just measured today.
Do I have the option not to be hospitalized? What should I pay attention to when restricting diet and increasing activity at home?
Doctor's answer:
From your description, your blood sugar level is still fine, so there's no need to worry. Your blood sugar level is within the normal range. You got the reference range for post-meal blood sugar (2 hours after eating) wrong—it's actually the fasting blood sugar range. Due to physiological changes in pregnancy, blood sugar levels can be slightly higher, but yours is still acceptable. It doesn't qualify as gestational diabetes. Don't worry about the baby either; they're fine and don't need treatment.
