Question
A fasting blood sugar level of 4.9 mmol/L, a one-hour post-meal blood sugar level of 10.47 mmol/L, and a two-hour post-meal blood sugar level of 6.82 mmol/L. Is this considered gestational diabetes?
Answer
A fasting blood sugar level of 7.0 mmol/L or higher, and a two-hour post-meal blood sugar level of 11.1 mmol/L or higher can be diagnosed as diabetes. If the one-hour post-meal blood sugar peak is lower than 11.1 mmol/L, and the two-hour post-meal blood sugar is lower than 7.8 mmol/L, the test subject can be considered within the healthy range. Apart from pregnant women who need to measure a one-hour post-meal blood sugar level lower than 10.6 mmol/L, others typically do not need to measure a one-hour post-meal blood sugar level. If an individual has a family history of diabetes, a history of hypertension, or abdominal obesity, they are considered to be at high risk for diabetes. If you still have concerns, you can regularly monitor your blood sugar levels. I hope my answer is helpful to you, thank you!
