Pregnant women have many complications during pregnancy, of which diabetes in pregnancy is a very easy complication. Therefore, all pregnant women should check their blood sugar in the early pregnancy to check whether they have pre pregnancy diabetes. Diabetes screening is also called glucose tolerance screening. How many weeks does sugar tolerance take?
According to different populations, there are different screening times for glucose tolerance testing. For example, some pregnant women do not have pre pregnancy diabetes, but some high-risk factors may lead to gestational diabetes, such as family inheritance, history of polycystic ovary disease, obesity and overweight body mass index. So in mid pregnancy, bucket screening should be performed at around 20 weeks. If the oral glucose tolerance test in mid pregnancy is normal, another glucose tolerance screening should also be conducted around 30 weeks.
If there are no high-risk factors and no history of diabetes before pregnancy, the examination should be carried out in 24-28 weeks. Pregnant women should be on an empty stomach during the examination, with a fasting time of 10-14 hours. They should not drink strong tea, coffee, or consume alcohol before the examination. Glucose tolerance screening is based on the fasting blood glucose level of pregnant women, as well as the one hour and two-hour blood glucose levels after taking glucose, and is determined based on the results of these three blood tests. As long as there is one abnormality, it is pregnancy diabetes.
Gestational diabetes has an impact on the health of pregnant women and fetuses, so this golden age of examination cannot be missed.
