Symptoms of high blood sugar in late pregnancy

Pregnancy is a continuous process, during which you will always encounter problems of one kind or another. Physical discomfort and mental distress will make you feel more tormented. Expectant mothers in the late pregnancy face more problems, the most common of which is high blood sugar. When encountering these problems, expectant mothers always think too much and consider things that do not exist. Now here are some symptoms and solutions of high blood sugar, I hope it can help expectant mothers.

The first and foremost characteristic of expectant mothers with high blood sugar is dry skin and frequent urination. Although frequent urination is a characteristic of expectant mothers during pregnancy, many pregnant women ignore this point. However, the phenomenon of frequent urination only occurs frequently in the early and late pregnancy. If expectant mothers in the second trimester still have frequent urination and their skin is very dry, or even dehydrated, then they can consider whether their blood sugar has increased.

The second symptom is always feeling thirsty. This is because the expectant mother's blood sugar will increase, which will cause frequent urination. The increased urination frequency will cause the body to lack water, and the expectant mother's brain nervous system will produce a feeling of thirst. This is different from the normal feeling of thirst, and expectant mothers should pay attention to the difference.

If you always feel your heartbeat quickening and breathing difficulties, you should consider whether it is due to high blood sugar levels. Of course, this feeling after strenuous exercise does not count. In a quiet situation, it is abnormal for expectant mothers to have the above reactions and they should go to the hospital for a detailed examination.

Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite or indigestion are a series of symptoms that appear after blood sugar levels rise. Some pregnant women may feel weak and in poor spirits, and feel that they have no energy to do anything and feel confused every day. This may indicate that your blood sugar has risen.

The most direct symptom is abnormal test results. After 28 weeks, expectant mothers should go to the hospital for a blood sugar test. The method is very simple. Drink a glass of glucose before blood test. If the value is within the normal range, it means that the expectant mother is healthy. If it exceeds the normal value, the expectant mother should pay more attention, control her diet, eat less high-sugar foods, eat more green vegetables, eat small meals frequently, exercise appropriately, reduce fruit intake, and focus on coarse grains and light foods. Follow the doctor's advice and strengthen your health care so that you can control your blood sugar levels and avoid continued increases. Don't worry if the first test result is abnormal, but if multiple test results are abnormal, then timely intervention is necessary.
