Women often need to undergo examinations during pregnancy, such as urine routine and blood routine, which are essential basic items. Pregnant women need to pay attention to blood sugar, because they are more likely to suffer from pregnancy diabetes during pregnancy, which will cause the symptoms of elevated blood sugar. So, what is the normal fasting blood glucose during pregnancy?
After pregnancy, the normal fasting blood glucose level for women is 3.3-5.3mmol/L. If a pregnant woman's fasting blood glucose is below 3.3 mmol/L, it indicates poor nutrition and the need to supplement more nutrients. If the fasting blood glucose is higher than 5.3mmol/L before the 23rd week of pregnancy, glucose tolerance test should be performed to confirm whether you have pregnancy diabetes.
When pregnant women suffer from gestational diabetes, it is more harmful to health, and it is easy to cause cardiovascular system and heart disease of pregnant women. And it can also have adverse effects on the fetus, possibly causing intrauterine hypoxia, as well as the possibility of fetal malformation, death, and miscarriage.
If you are diagnosed with gestational diabetes during pregnancy, you must control your blood sugar and eat less food with high sugar content. For example, for staple foods, it is best to choose some coarse grains. And when eating fruits, avoid sugary fruits such as cantaloupe, lychee, and grapes. Additionally, oral hypoglycemic drugs may be necessary when necessary. For pregnant women with high blood sugar, insulin injections are usually recommended.
