Question

A woman at 21 weeks + 2 pregnant, with a height of 158cm and a weight of 84kg, and a pre-pregnancy weight of 81kg. She was detected by the doctor with a glycated hemoglobin level of 10.2 and is worried whether it is a sign of gestational diabetes.

Answer

The glycated hemoglobin level of 10.2 is elevated. Different hospitals may have different testing methods, but the standard on the test report should be followed. It is recommended to monitor blood sugar levels more frequently. If they are within the normal range, there is no need to worry excessively. At the same time, there is protein in the urine test, which may be related to infection. Further diagnosis can be made through blood routine tests and urinary system B-ultrasound. If confirmed to be urinary tract infection, antibiotic treatment can be administered and follow-up can be conducted. Wishing for a quick recovery.
