Question

During pregnancy, my fasting blood sugar is as high as 5.27 mmol/L, but I haven’t had a post-meal blood sugar test yet. However, the fructosamine level is only 205, and the glycated hemoglobin is 4.9%. While these blood sugar values are on the high side, the fructosamine level is low. Is this normal? The doctor at the county-level hospital was not responsible, did not carefully review the test results, leading to inconsistent explanations, and did not provide any suggestions on whether a re-examination is needed. Please let me know if all these data are normal?

Answer

Hello, according to the standard, fasting blood sugar during pregnancy should not exceed 5.1 mmol/L; post-meal blood sugar one hour after should not exceed 10.0 mmol/L. If diagnosed with gestational diabetes, you can use Novolin R for treatment, and have regular follow-ups while paying attention to dietary control.
