Early symptoms of diabetes during pregnancy

As the pace of social development becomes faster and faster and people's living standards gradually improve, the number of diabetics is also gradually increasing. This is all caused by poor diet and lifestyle. Hyperglycemia in pregnant women is a very harmful medical disease, which not only harms the health of pregnant women, but also is very bad for the health of the baby in the womb.

1. What is hyperglycemia in pregnant women?

When women who do not originally have diabetes develop abnormal glucose tolerance during pregnancy, it is called "gestational hyperglycemia", which may cause congenital malformations of the fetus, hypoglycemia and respiratory distress syndrome in the newborn, stillbirth, polyhydramnios, premature birth, urinary tract infection in the mother, headache, etc. It not only affects the development of the baby, but also harms the mother's physical and mental health. Therefore, it is very important to check whether you have diabetes during pregnancy.

Because pregnant women with high blood sugar may have it again in the next pregnancy, if you become pregnant again, you should tell your doctor as soon as possible and do a good job of testing. Pregnant women who have suffered from this disease are more likely to develop diabetes in middle age than normal women. Therefore, after giving birth, they should try their best to maintain a moderate ideal weight, maintain regular eating and exercise habits, and check blood sugar levels regularly.

2. Early symptoms of gestational diabetes

1. Dizziness: Pregnant women with high blood sugar are very prone to hypoglycemia. Some pregnant women with high blood sugar may feel dizzy or even faint. At this time, you must go to the hospital to test your blood sugar level.

2. Feeling tired very easily: Fatigue may be caused by high blood sugar in pregnant women or by fatigue. This early symptom of hyperglycemia in pregnant women cannot be used independently. It just needs to be used in combination with other early symptoms of high blood sugar in pregnant women.

3. The reason for the previous pregnancy being stillborn is unclear: High blood sugar in pregnant women has a significant impact on the fetus. If the previous fetus was stillborn for unknown reasons or was deformed. You must be careful during this pregnancy.

4. Skin itching: This early symptom of high blood sugar in pregnant women is very easy to be ignored. In winter, dry skin can become itchy. Mosquito bites can also be itchy in the summer. Therefore, pregnant women are not happy about it.

5. Starvation: This early symptom of high blood sugar in pregnant women is as easy to be ignored as itchy skin. A pregnant woman has the lips of one person and the appetite of two people. Therefore, it is easy to feel hungry.

The above is all the information I have prepared for everyone about what gestational diabetes is and what its early symptoms are. I hope it can be of some help to those who have more doubts. I suggest that pregnant mothers must attach great importance to diabetes screening during pregnancy, and detect abnormalities in time so that gestational diabetes can be better treated.
