Question
Today, I am 26 weeks pregnant and have completed the glucose tolerance test. Can you tell me if the test results are normal and whether there’s a possibility of developing gestational diabetes?
Answer
Hello, your glucose tolerance test results show that your fasting blood sugar is 5.06, one hour after eating blood sugar is 8.22, and two hours after eating blood sugar is 8.35. These values may suggest that your glucose tolerance is decreasing, a common phenomenon during pregnancy. If not controlled, there is a risk of developing gestational diabetes. It is recommended that you avoid excessive intake of sweets in your diet, increase your daily activities such as walking, and regularly check your blood sugar levels. If necessary, insulin can be used to control blood sugar. Please maintain stable blood sugar levels within the normal range.
