Glucose tolerance test for pregnant women

Many pregnant friends will eat some high-calorie and high-protein foods after the wedding for the better development of the baby and to better replenish their physical strength. However, due to excessive consumption of high-calorie and high-protein foods, it will cause high glucose tolerance in pregnant women, so you need to get checked at this time.

Glucose tolerance test:

We usually start the glucose tolerance test at 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy, which is to take 50 grams of glucose for a glucose tolerance test. Generally, you should drink 100 ml of water containing 50 grams of glucose within five minutes. The time will be counted from the first sip of the sugar water. After one hour, we will measure your finger blood to check your blood sugar level. If it is over 7.8, we consider it abnormal, and if it is less than 7.8, it is normal. In the glucose tolerance test, you can eat breakfast or not, as long as you don't eat too much.

If the pregnant woman has a family history of diabetes, or she is too obese, or has given birth to a bad child or had a miscarriage. Because unexplained miscarriage may also be caused by high blood sugar in the past, so in some cases we need to do a glucose tolerance test during the first prenatal check-up.

There are also pregnant women whose glucose tolerance is normal at 24 to 28 weeks, but sometimes they do not pay attention to their diet and eat too much sweets, and they may develop diabetes in the later stages. This type of people should also be taken seriously. If the glucose tolerance exceeds 7.8 and MMOR/L is less than 10.5mmol/l, we need to do a formal glucose tolerance test OGTT. Then make further diagnosis. If the glucose tolerance is greater than 10.5mmol/l. We need to check the pregnant woman's fasting blood sugar to further determine whether it is gestational diabetes.

In the article, we learned about the glucose tolerance of pregnant women. First of all, because the body transformation of each pregnant woman is different, we can choose a better method for treatment. You can eat more light and nutritious foods in your daily life.
