Blood sugar is very important for a person's health, and both ordinary people and pregnant women should pay attention to changes in blood sugar. Especially for pregnant women, if blood sugar is high, it not only affects their own health but also endangers the health of the fetus. So how much is normal blood sugar during pregnancy?
For ordinary people, maintaining fasting blood glucose within the normal range of 3.9-6.1 mmol per liter is sufficient. But for pregnant women, the control of normal blood sugar levels will be stricter, and the normal fasting blood sugar level for pregnant women should be controlled at 3.1-5.6 mmol per liter.
The requirements for postprandial blood glucose of pregnant women are relatively strict. Generally, the blood glucose one hour after meal is mainly used to detect whether pregnant women have diabetes or the risk of suffering from diabetes, and it is normal if it does not exceed 10.0mmol per liter; It is normal for a pregnant woman's blood sugar to not exceed 8.5 mmol per liter two hours after a meal.
Diabetes during pregnancy is mainly caused by abnormal glucose metabolism due to physiological changes. If diabetes during pregnancy is not treated in time, it will be very harmful to pregnant women and fetuses. For pregnant women, gestational diabetes may increase the risk of hypertension, hyperglycemia, preeclampsia and other diseases; For fetuses, it may induce phenomena such as miscarriage, developmental delay, malformation, and macrosomia. Therefore, high blood sugar during pregnancy is an issue that cannot be ignored and intervention should be taken as soon as possible.
