Patient's question:
Today at 26 weeks of pregnancy, I went to Suzhou Maternal and Child Hospital for a glucose tolerance test. The fasting blood glucose on the test report was 5.06, the blood glucose one hour after eating was 8.22, and the blood glucose two hours after eating was 8.35. Is it normal? Is there a possibility of getting gestational diabetes? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition falls under the category of decreased glucose tolerance after pregnancy, which is a common physiological phenomenon. However, if left unmanaged, it may develop into gestational diabetes. Currently, it is recommended to avoid overly sweet pastries, candies, and various sweet snacks in your diet. Increase your activity levels, such as taking walks, as inactivity after pregnancy offers no benefits. Additionally, it is important to undergo regular follow-up checks to monitor your blood sugar levels. If necessary, insulin can be used to control blood sugar and maintain stable, target levels.
