Diabetes is a common disease, obesity prone to occur. Pregnant women are also prone to gestational diabetes, mainly because the placenta will secrete a variety of hormones that provide fetal growth. These hormones are beneficial to the fetus, but will block the role of pregnant women's insulin, leading to the emergence of gestational diabetes. So, how much blood sugar during pregnancy can determine diabetes?
When women are 24-28 weeks pregnant, hormone secretion is the most vigorous, so pregnancy diabetes is prone to occur at this time. Pregnant women can be diagnosed as gestational diabetes if their fasting blood glucose is measured more than twice and their blood glucose ≥ 5.8mmol/L. After the detection of gestational diabetes, you can take hypoglycemic drugs under the guidance of the doctor, and you should not eat foods with high sugar content at ordinary times.
Gestational diabetes will not be harmful to the health of pregnant women and fetuses as long as the blood sugar is well controlled. If there is no diabetes before pregnancy and only diabetes occurs after pregnancy, the problem of diabetes will disappear after childbirth, so don't let yourself have too much psychological pressure and relax yourself.
In general, whether it is pregnancy diabetes needs to be tested when the pregnant woman is on an empty stomach, and it needs to be tested more than twice. Pregnant women with gestational diabetes should not eat too much food with high starch content. In addition, they should not eat fruits with high sugar content. They can eat more vegetables and exercise properly.
