For expectant mothers, they are pregnant in October and always ready to welcome the arrival of a new life, making efforts for this small new life. When should glucose tolerance be checked if all the tests during pregnancy are not included?
The timing of glucose tolerance testing must be well controlled, and it should be conducted within 24-28 weeks of pregnancy, neither earlier nor later. Due to the formation of the fetus at this time, it is possible to observe its condition very well. Generally, the examination is conducted in the morning because fasting is required before the glucose tolerance test, otherwise it will affect the results of the examination. During this period of time, diabetes in pregnancy can be found in time, and timely diagnosis and treatment can be given. For pregnant mothers, it can significantly reduce the occurrence of other complications during pregnancy, lower the chance of infection, lower the rate of difficult labor and cesarean section.
Glucose tolerance is an experiment used to test the glucose tolerance of the human body. More generally, it is to test whether there is diabetes.
If you find diabetes during pregnancy, don't worry too much. You can pay attention to the intake of calories, the distribution ratio of nutrients and the distribution of meals through diet control and proper exercise. Avoid consuming sweets and high-fat foods, and increase dietary fiber. Regular check ups, follow doctor's advice, and if necessary, undergo insulin therapy to adjust blood sugar levels within the ideal range.
