Sugar screening is high two hours after meal

There are many prenatal tests we have to do during pregnancy, one of which is a test for high blood sugar in pregnant women, called "sugar screening". It is only one letter different from the other "Down syndrome screening" and is often confused. Sugar screening tests are helpful in detecting abnormalities as quickly as possible, and further taking certain effective measures to assist pregnant women to safely pass through the pregnancy period. What should we do if a pregnant woman has a high glucose tolerance of 2 hours? Let's talk about this topic specifically below.

Measuring blood sugar 2 hours after a meal is another important way to diagnose and detect diabetes. In clinical medicine, there are many patients whose blood sugar is not high, but their blood sugar level rises significantly 2 hours after a meal, and they can also be diagnosed with diabetes. The method is to eat a 2-ounce (about 100-gram) steamed bun or 75 grams of glucose on an empty stomach in the morning, and then draw blood for blood sugar testing 2 hours after the meal. If the blood blood sugar level is higher than or equal to 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L), even if the blood sugar level is normal, it can be diagnosed as diabetes. If the result is <140 Mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L), diabetes can be cleared. If the result is >140Mg/dL (7.8mmol/L), further 75g of oral red grape sugar screening is required before a diagnosis can be made.

Testing blood sugar levels 2 hours after a meal is actually a simplified grape sugar screening. Because this method requires less frequency of blood tests than oral red grape sugar screening tests, is simple and easy to perform, and is easily accepted by patients, it is the most common method used in clinical medicine to select and detect diabetic patients with normal blood sugar. Measuring blood sugar levels 2 hours after a meal has two meanings: one is for diagnosis, and the other is to observe the recovery of glucose tolerance, thereby reflecting the function of the pancreas. If after a period of treatment, blood sugar has returned to normal, but postprandial blood sugar is still high, it often reminds the patient's glucose tolerance is still not good, and the metabolism of pancreatic disorders can be said to be delayed. If blood sugar is normal and postprandial blood sugar is also normal, it means that the patient has good glucose tolerance and improved pancreatic islet function.

A high glucose tolerance means that the pregnant woman's current ability to metabolize sugar is not very good, which is a situation that many pregnant women today will encounter. If your test results are also like this, please don't be too depressed, you must follow the doctor's instructions, strictly control yourself in diet, maintain a positive and happy mood, and you will definitely get through the entire pregnancy period successfully.
