Is a pregnant woman's blood sugar lower than that of a normal person?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women and normal people have different standards. The fasting blood glucose requirements for pregnant women are stricter. They need to improve their glucose tolerance. This can be achieved by increasing physical activity, enhancing the uptake and utilization of glucose by muscle and liver tissues, consuming more sugar, or reducing intake to alleviate the burden on the pancreas. However, the nutritional needs of the fetus must also be considered.
