During pregnancy, various tests such as blood pressure and blood sugar should be conducted to determine if the pregnant woman has high blood pressure or blood sugar, in order to detect and treat them early. When checking blood sugar, how much should pregnant women's blood sugar not exceed?
Pregnant women's fasting blood glucose should not exceed 5.1mmol/L, postprandial blood glucose should not exceed 7.8mmol/L within 1 hour, and postprandial blood glucose should not exceed 6.7mmol/L within 2 hours. As long as it is within this range, it is considered normal. If the blood sugar of pregnant women exceeds 5.1 mmol/L on an empty stomach, it is almost certain that there is pregnancy diabetes. Therefore, when measuring blood sugar during pregnancy, pre - and post meal measurements can be chosen.
If pregnant women have high blood sugar, they often experience hunger, feel unsatisfied, and always want to eat. Furthermore, I always feel thirsty, even after drinking a lot of water, I am still thirsty. If I drink too much, of course, I will experience frequent urination. In addition, another symptom is itching on the skin. Since it's winter, I always feel itchy on the skin and want to scratch it.
Pregnant women with diabetes, the harm is not small. For pregnant women, it is easy to cause excessive amniotic fluid, difficulty in delivery, and lead to complications during pregnancy. For fetuses, it can lead to macrosomia, fetal malformations, and delayed fetal development. Therefore, if pregnant women are found to have elevated blood sugar levels, it is necessary to control their diet in a timely manner, eat small meals frequently, and if necessary, seek medication treatment.
