Reasons for high glucose in urine test of pregnant women

The physical condition of pregnant women is different from that of ordinary people. During different periods of pregnancy, the physical condition of pregnant women will undergo many changes. Sometimes it is normal, but sometimes these symptoms need to be taken seriously. High glucose in pregnant women's urine test is a signal and requires active examination. Next, we will introduce in detail the reasons for high glucose in pregnant women's urine test.

Pregnancy complicated with diabetes is one of the common clinical complications, usually including the following three situations:

1. Diabetes is diagnosed before pregnancy.

2. Before pregnancy, the patient had asymptomatic diabetes, which developed into symptomatic diabetes after pregnancy.

3. Those who did not have diabetes before pregnancy, but developed diabetes after pregnancy and recovered after delivery.

In most women with gestational diabetes, glucose tolerance returns to normal after delivery. However, some patients have persistent hyperglycemia, diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance after delivery and may develop into diabetes.

The most obvious symptom of pregnancy complicated with diabetes is "three mores and one less", namely: eating more, drinking more, and urinating more, but also losing weight and accompanied by vomiting. Be careful not to confuse it with general pregnancy reactions. Vomiting during pregnancy with diabetes can become hyperemesis, which means severe nausea and vomiting, and may even cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Another common symptom is fatigue and weakness, which is because the glucose eaten cannot be fully utilized and its metabolism is accelerated, so physical strength cannot be replenished.

Although they eat a lot of nutritious food, due to the lack of insulin in the body, the glucose in the food is not fully utilized and is excreted. Fat supplies heat energy, and the rate of protein conversion into glucose is greatly accelerated. As a result, a large amount of carbohydrates, proteins and fats are consumed in the body, resulting in poor physique and light weight. Due to the abnormal acceleration of glucose metabolism, the glucose content in the blood and urine increases, and fungal infection is more likely to occur in early pregnancy with diabetes. Symptoms of diabetes may be alleviated during the second trimester of pregnancy. Delivery in late pregnancy, induced labor, and cesarean section can also easily lead to bacterial infection, further aggravating the symptoms of diabetes.

The above content is an introduction to the reasons why pregnant women have high glucose in their urine tests. Pregnant women need to be taken care of very carefully in life. They need to pay attention to both life and diet. If high glucose levels occur, they should go to the hospital in time. Although pregnant women have great restrictions on the use of medication, they can also solve the problem through other means.
