Glucose tolerance blood sugar will be high, mainly because of eating too much rice or lactose-containing foods during pregnancy. Everyone needs to correct their dietary problems.

This will help treat the symptoms of high blood sugar level.

What to do if pregnant women have high glucose tolerance

Pregnant women with high blood sugar will experience dry skin, nausea, poor spirits and other symptoms, which are mainly caused by genetics and unreasonable diet during pregnancy; it is best to divide into 3 large meals and 3 small meals; eat less high-sugar fruits; 400-500 grams of vegetables per day, of which colored vegetables should not be less than 50%, legumes

Breakfast: It is recommended to drink some sugar-free soy milk or milk, remember, it must be sugar-free, and then a small multi-grain bread, which can be made of corn flour or buckwheat flour, and two slices of whole wheat bread.

Main meal: multi-grain rice. It is recommended to add some millet and black rice when cooking rice. Because the sugar content in white rice flour is very high, it is best to eat multi-grain rice as the staple food.

Dinner: Basically the same as lunch.

Then have a snack before going to bed, before 10 o'clock, because if you can't eat for more than 8 hours after going to bed, if you don't eat for a long time, pregnant women with diabetes will easily have elevated urine ketones, which is toxic to the child. Therefore, you must have a snack before going to bed. It is recommended to eat fruit and a small amount of soda crackers.

The results of the glucose tolerance test can be roughly divided into the following situations

Normal glucose tolerance: fasting blood glucose <6.1mmol/L (110mg/dl); reaches peak value 30-60min after oral glucose intake, with peak value <11.1mmol/L (200mg/dl); basically returns to normal level at 120min, i.e. <7.8mmol/L (140mg/dl), and urine sugar is (-). This glucose tolerance curve shows that the body has a good ability to handle glucose load.

Diabetic glucose tolerance: fasting blood glucose ≥7.0mmol/L (126mg/dl); delayed peak, often occurring after 1 hour, peak value ≥11.1mmol/L (200mg/dl); cannot return to normal levels within 120min, i.e. >7.8mmol/L (140mg/dl). The blood glucose level 2 hours after taking sugar is the most important judgment indicator. Many patients with early diabetes may only show an increase in blood sugar levels for 2 hours, and their urine sugar is often positive.

If your glucose tolerance is high during a checkup, don't panic. Ask your doctor about the situation and what you should pay attention to. Alternatively, you can refer to the above suggestions. Of course, the doctor's advice is safer. At the same time, it is very important to maintain good living habits.
