gestational diabetes blood sugar range

The fasting blood glucose of gestational diabetes patients should be less than 5.3mmol/L, 1 hour after meal blood glucose should be less than 10.0mmol/L, 2 hours after meal blood glucose should be less than 8.6mmol/L. 1. Fasting blood glucose The fasting blood glucose level is very important for the diagnosis and management of gestational diabetes. Keeping it within this range helps reduce the adverse effects of high blood sugar on the pregnant woman and her fetus. If fasting blood sugar is too high, it may increase the risk of complications such as pregnancy hypertension and polyhydramnios, and may also adversely affect the growth and development of the fetus, such as causing macrosomia. 2. 1 hour postprandial blood glucose 1 hour postprandial blood glucose monitoring can reflect the changes in blood glucose after eating. Higher 1 hour postprandial blood glucose may indicate poor blood glucose control, need to further adjust diet, increase exercise or consider drug therapy. Good control of blood sugar at this stage helps reduce the risk of long-term high blood sugar in the fetus, such as fetal distress. 3. Blood sugar 2 hours after meal By monitoring blood sugar 2 hours after meal, you can understand the situation of pregnant women's blood sugar metabolism ability after eating for a period of time. If it exceeds the range, it may indicate that blood sugar control is not ideal and corresponding measures need to be taken to improve it. Persistent hyperglycemia may affect fetal organ development and may increase the incidence of premature delivery, neonatal hypoglycemia and other problems. Patients with gestational diabetes should visit the hospital regularly to clarify the control of blood sugar and help adjust treatment options in a timely manner.
