Some pregnant mothers because they are afraid of drawing blood, so they do not want to do sugar tolerance, and they are worried that it will affect the baby, and they are very entangled, asking me if I can not do it?
Glucose tolerance is also known as glucose tolerance test, pregnancy between 24-28 weeks is the best time to do glucose tolerance test, in this time period need to go to the hospital to draw blood test, first measure fasting blood glucose, after drawing fasting blood, immediately drink 75g of glucose water, glucose water to drink within five minutes, after taking sugar water after the first hour, the second hour, the third hour are drawn three times. The time is counted from the first sip of glucose. The results of 3 blood draws were used to find out if pregnant women had gestational diabetes. Reduce activity during blood draws and reduce test errors. If strenuous activity may increase the excitability of the sympathetic nervous system, leading to an increase in blood sugar, inaccurate results may occur. During the glucose tolerance test, do not eat or drink.
Three days before the glucose tolerance test, eat normally, do not deliberately control the diet, and exercise appropriately, but can not exercise vigorously, but also maintain emotional stability, and do not eat after 10 p.m. the night before the test. Any of the three test results is greater than or equal to the limit, i.e. gestational diabetes can be diagnosed. If a pregnant woman has diabetes and does not control blood sugar in time, it may affect the growth and development of the fetus, such as fetal growth restriction, miscarriage, premature birth, etc. Therefore, symptomatic treatment should be started immediately. If the pregnant woman is in good health, has no abnormalities in her body, and has no family history of diabetes, and is really reluctant to be tested, no one can force you to do a glucose tolerance test. Women in the middle and third trimester of pregnancy, due to the increase in hormone levels and insulin resistance in the body, so the probability of gestational diabetes is relatively high, but due to the early onset of diabetes is hidden, it is not easy to find, if you do not do glucose tolerance test or simply do fasting blood glucose test, can not rule out whether pregnant women have gestational diabetes.
Once gestational diabetes does not control blood sugar, it may have a serious impact on the pregnant woman herself and the fetus, which may cause rapid fetal growth, macrosomia, neonatal hypoglycemia, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, the probability of fetal malformations, and the probability of hyperhydramnios or premature birth. And it will also cause pregnant mothers diabetes lactic acidosis, pregnancy hypertension, hypoglycemia, endocrine metabolism disorders, insulin hypoglycemia coma and so on. And may cause dystocia and birth canal damage due to the fetus is too large, and it is easy to suffer from type II diabetes after childbirth. If gestational diabetes is detected, the complications of gestational diabetes can be minimized by treatment that strictly controls blood glucose and the monitoring of the fetus is strengthened in the third trimester of pregnancy. Therefore, it is recommended that all pregnant women have a glucose tolerance test between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy to determine whether they have gestational diabetes.
