Question
Inquiry about the results of a glucose tolerance test for pregnant women.
Answer
For a glucose tolerance test conducted at 25 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy, the fasting blood glucose level was 5.95 mmol/L, the blood glucose level one hour later was 12.31 mmol/L, and the blood glucose level two hours later was 7.28 mmol/L. Based on these results, the doctor diagnosed gestational diabetes. The patient is 170 cm tall and weighs 74 kg. It is recommended to treat the condition with insulin injections, which will not affect the fetus’s development. Regarding the causes of pediatric diabetes, due to the variety of factors involved, if a child is diagnosed with diabetes, parents should cooperate with the doctor in actively treating the condition, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Children need to follow a reasonable diet and avoid consuming irritating and cold foods.
