After a woman becomes pregnant, there will be a standard range for monitoring the growth and development standards of the fetus and the health status of the female body during regular prenatal examinations. If the examination results exceed this range, timely nursing measures need to be taken. So, why is the blood sugar standard of pregnant women lower than that of normal people?
1. Same as normal human standards. Most women's blood sugar content in their bodies during pregnancy will be lower than that of normal people. However, from the perspective of medical detection, the blood sugar monitoring standard of healthy pregnant women is the same as that of normal people, because the body of pregnant women is relatively more sensitive to sugar, and a little beyond the normal range is likely to cause pregnancy diabetes.
2. Insulin function is active. During pregnancy, women's endocrine system undergoes varying degrees of changes, with insulin being highly active. Therefore, their response to sugar levels in the body is more sensitive. Women must pay attention to the intake of sugary foods during pregnancy to avoid different types of discomfort.
3. Progesterone increases. As the fertilized egg in a woman's body grows and develops, there is an increase in progesterone in the body, which can easily lead to an increase in stomach acid and excessive consumption of sugar in the body, resulting in lower blood sugar levels in pregnant women compared to normal individuals.
