Patient's question:
Sorry, I've been troubling you ever since I got pregnant!This time, I've encountered a new problem. Yesterday, I had my blood sugar tested at the hospital, and it was a bit high. The result was 8.09. I don't know if it will affect the fetus, and what should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is more important to reasonably arrange your diet on a daily basis, avoid high-sugar foods, adopt a small-amount, frequent-meals approach, and consume more vegetables and fiber-rich foods. Pay attention to the intake of vitamins, iron, and calcium. Walk more (aerobic exercise). If you don’t pay attention, the child born may have hypoglycemia! (Hypoglycemia! To some extent, hypoglycemia is even more serious than hyperglycemia!) Moreover, the higher the blood sugar of the pregnant woman, the lower the blood sugar of the normal infant. It is best to have regular blood sugar tests at the hospital during the 18th and 32nd weeks of pregnancy, and to seek nutritional counseling at the obstetric nutrition consultation clinic in a timely manner.
