Question
I had a glucose tolerance test (for pregnant women) and a glucose measurement (fasting) at 5.00 mmol/L at Nansha Economic Development People’s Hospital. Do I need to fast for the repeat test?
Answer
Hello, your fasting level is normal in this case, but it’s still higher than the normal value two hours after the meal. Considering the abnormal glucose tolerance, it may indicate gestational diabetes. However, don’t worry too much; this value is not too high and is related to pregnancy. It is recommended to follow a low-sugar diet and have regular follow-up tests.
