The glucose tolerance test is usually carried out around 28 weeks of pregnancy. The purpose of the test is to prevent pregnancy diabetes. Although sweet food can make people happy in our daily life, the sugar in the sugar tolerance test is not the sugar we eat every day. The glucose is used here. Many pregnant mothers who have had sugar tolerance test report that sugar tolerance is too greasy to eat normally, but they still drink it to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results. What will happen if they vomit all when doing sugar tolerance test?
What will happen if the sugar tolerance is completely vomited
If all the sugar water consumed during the period of glucose tolerance is vomited, it will affect the absorption of sugar by the gastrointestinal tract, leading to low test results and affecting the normal judgment of blood glucose levels. In China, the 75g glucose tolerance test is commonly used for blood glucose levels during pregnancy, which refers to taking 75g of glucose orally after fasting for 12 hours. The normal upper limit is: fasting 5.6mmol/L, 1-hour 10.3mmol/L, 2-hour 8.6mmol/L, and 3-hour 6.7mmol/L. Two or more of them reach or exceed the normal value, which can be diagnosed as gestational diabetes.
Why do we need to be sugar tolerant
Glucose tolerance can detect whether pregnant women have gestational diabetes during pregnancy. It is necessary to know that gestational diabetes is a threat to both the pregnant mother and the fetus. Its incidence rate is reported to be 1% to 14% in various countries around the world, and it has an impact on both mother and child. In early pregnancy, high blood sugar can lead to abnormal embryo development and even death, with a miscarriage rate of 15% to 30%. The incidence of second child deformities, premature birth, stillbirth, and stillbirth is also very high.
Although sugar tolerance testing is not as enjoyable as eating sweets in daily life, it is much more important than eating sweets in daily life. It can timely reflect the mother's blood sugar problems and provide a high-quality living environment for the fetus. Therefore, sugar tolerance testing is very important. If complete vomiting occurs during the test, it can be retested the next day. Remember not to eat or drink water before the end of the test to avoid affecting the accuracy of sugar tolerance.
