What to do if the glucose tolerance is high for two hours

1. What to do if pregnant women have high glucose tolerance

1. Control diet: daily calories are 150KJ/Kg (36Kcal/Kg), including 40%-50% carbohydrates, 12%-20% protein, 30%-35% fat, and supplement with vitamins, calcium and iron. The diet should be light, with less salt, to prevent edema and high blood pressure. Eat more soy products, dried shrimps, kelp and other foods to supplement calcium and enhance bone growth. Eat more pork liver, beef, duck blood, etc., and eat more green leafy vegetables to enhance resistance and avoid anemia, dizziness, blurred vision, fatigue, palpitations and other symptoms. Consume crude fiber and phytic acid in a quantitative amount, about 20 grams per day on average.

2. Drug treatment: If controlling the diet can achieve normal blood sugar levels and the expectant mother does not feel hungry, there is no need to add drug treatment. If normal levels are not reached, insulin therapy is needed to lower blood sugar.

3. Exercise therapy: Appropriate exercise can increase the body's sensitivity to insulin, promote the utilization of glucose, and help lower blood sugar. Take a 20-30 minute walk every day. But strenuous exercise should be avoided.

2. What should I do if pregnant women have impaired glucose tolerance?

Impaired glucose tolerance means that the blood sugar level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes. If blood sugar is normal before pregnancy and gestational diabetes develops after pregnancy, treatment should generally focus on adjusting and controlling diet. If dietary control has lowered blood sugar to an ideal level, medication may not be necessary.

If fasting blood sugar is still higher than 5.55mmol/L and postprandial blood sugar is higher than 8.33mmol/l after dietary control, insulin treatment is required. At this time, the patient should be hospitalized, and the obstetrics and internal medicine departments will arrange a treatment plan based on the specific situation. Remember not to use oral hypoglycemic drugs, because they can cross the placenta and have adverse effects on the fetus.

3. What should I do if pregnant women have impaired glucose tolerance?

Impaired glucose tolerance does not mean that one has diabetes. It is an intermediate stage between normal people and diabetic patients. However, those with abnormal glucose tolerance are more likely to develop diabetes than normal expectant mothers, so they should be highly vigilant.

1. The first measure is to adjust the diet, that is, to reasonably distribute three meals a day, limit the intake of sugar and fat foods, and eat more fresh vegetables;

2. The second is to increase the amount of activity, that is, to have a certain amount of time for physical exercise every day, such as walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, etc., and try to avoid sitting for long periods of time;

3. Again, take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
