Blood sugar suddenly returned to normal in late pregnancy

A sudden rise in blood sugar in the late pregnancy may be caused by eating too many sweets during pregnancy, or it may be due to high blood sugar in the early stages. In this case, we just need to adjust the absorption of sugar. If blood sugar levels suddenly return to normal in the late pregnancy and then change drastically, it is usually due to changes in diet. Pregnant women are advised to check the cause of the disease.

Core Tip: There are two types of blood sugar during pregnancy. One is when you have diabetes before pregnancy, and you need to pay more attention to this type during pregnancy. The other is the increase in blood sugar caused by pregnancy, which can be controlled through blood sugar, diet therapy and exercise therapy. If these therapies do not work, it can be treated with drug therapy, so that blood sugar will be normal in the late pregnancy.

There are two types of gestational diabetes: one is when you already have diabetes before you become pregnant, and the other is when you discover that your blood sugar is elevated during pregnancy. Since the former exists before pregnancy, it is relatively more important. The latter has no obvious symptoms and is not easy to detect. Therefore, you should check your blood sugar regularly and eat a healthy diet during pregnancy, so that your blood sugar level will return to normal in the late pregnancy.

For pregnant women, dietary adjustments to control blood sugar during pregnancy are very important. Under the principle of controlling total calories, nutrition should be balanced, meals should be eaten on time, small meals should be eaten frequently, the needs of mother and baby should be guaranteed, and weight gain should be appropriate. In the diet of traditional Chinese medicine, carbohydrates are mainly grains and beans, and attention is paid to the combination of coarse and fine foods. You can also eat some fresh fruit, but you should eat it about 3 hours after a meal. Among fruits, strawberries and kiwis are the first choice, while bananas, lychees, longans, etc. are high in calories, so pregnant women should not eat too much of them. Foods high in sugar, such as sugar, honey, chocolate, and desserts should be eaten as little as possible. In addition, protein, fat, minerals, vitamins, etc. should also be consumed reasonably.

Reasonable exercise can also control blood sugar during pregnancy. Pregnant women who suffer from acute complications of diabetes, threatened abortion, habitual abortion, etc. should not exercise. Pregnant women can go outdoors to exercise one hour after a meal, but be sure to note that the duration should not be too long, 20 to 30 minutes is enough. When choosing sports, pregnant women are advised to choose soothing ones, such as walking, slow swimming, Tai Chi, etc.

If diet therapy and exercise therapy cannot control blood sugar, drug treatment must be used. Insulin treatment can not only control blood sugar, but also does not cross the placenta, so it is safer for mother and child. But you have to be careful when using insulin. It is best to use human insulin. You should pay attention to the type of insulin, dosage, injection time, and injection site.

If diabetes is discovered during pregnancy, pay attention to a proper diet, appropriately control weight gain, conduct gestational diabetes screening on time, and receive early treatment. If the condition can be treated with diet therapy and exercise therapy during pregnancy, then use these methods. If there is no improvement, it is recommended that pregnant women use medication to treat the condition, so that blood sugar levels can return to normal in the late stages and the baby can be born smoothly.
