Patient's question:
A few days ago, I had a glucose tolerance test at the hospital. The first time, the result was 9.43, and the doctor said it was slightly high, asking me to come back in 3 days for 4 blood draws. The results were: glucose (fasting) 5.26, glucose (1 hour) 11.15, glucose (2 hours) 9.6, glucose (3 hours) 4.56. I want to know if it's diabetes.Doctor's answer:
Your condition is being considered for gestational diabetes. You can comprehensively evaluate the monitoring data for treatment. For gestational diabetes, recheck blood sugar six months after giving birth and reevaluate how to confirm diabetes. It is recommended that you do not take medication for now and can regulate your life, such as controlling food intake, balancing meat and vegetables, limiting total intake, eating less but better, ensuring nutrition, and rechecking blood sugar irregularly. If blood sugar levels continue to decline, insulin treatment can be used.
