To check whether blood sugar is normal, in addition to testing fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar should also be tested. If the fasting blood glucose is normal and the postprandial blood glucose is high, it does not mean that diabetes is under control, so the postprandial blood glucose detection is also very important. During pregnancy, it is also easy to have high blood sugar, so it is important for pregnant women to test their postprandial blood sugar. What is the normal blood sugar level two hours after a meal?
When the pregnant women reach 24 weeks and 28 weeks, it is better to test their glucose tolerance, so that they can check whether the pregnant women have diabetes. If the fasting blood glucose of pregnant women is more than 5.1 mmol/L, and the blood glucose 2 hours after meal is more than 8.5 mmol/L, it indicates that pregnant women have diabetes.
The occurrence of diabetes during pregnancy may be caused by insulin resistance, or it may be caused by heredity. Whatever the cause of pregnancy diabetes, it must be controlled in time, or it will cause harm to the fetus.
After the occurrence of gestational diabetes, it is necessary to control diet. At this time, pregnant women do not need to increase calories especially, and they should not lose weight in the middle of pregnancy. Otherwise, the increase of ketone body in pregnant women will affect the health of the fetus due to weight loss. In addition, in the case of pregnancy diabetes, you should eat a small number of meals at ordinary times to avoid taking too much sugar. You can eat more low sugar fruits and low-fat foods. Also pay attention to appropriate exercise.
