What is the standard for blood sugar level of mother after delivery?

Every mother is great, and when they give birth to a baby, every aspect of their body changes. Blood sugar level is one of them. The sugar content in the blood maintains the balance of various body functions and maintains cell metabolism. The blood sugar level standard is something every mother must pay attention to and measure blood sugar levels regularly. So what is the blood sugar level standard for mothers after childbirth? Let’s take a look together!

1.

For most mothers with gestational diabetes (GDM), their blood sugar levels can return to normal 6 to 12 weeks after delivery. However, at least 10% of these mothers will directly become diabetic. Therefore, new mothers should continue to control and monitor their blood sugar levels during the postpartum period.

Blood sugar control target: The recommended blood sugar control target for new mothers is 3.9~6.1mmol/L when fasting and before meals, and 4.4~7.8mmol/L 2 hours after meals (try to control within 7.2mmol/L). Monitoring frequency: New mothers who have achieved good blood sugar control are advised to monitor their fasting and postprandial blood sugar 2 to 4 times a week. New mothers who have poor blood sugar control can increase the frequency of blood sugar monitoring as prescribed by the doctor.

Regular physical examinations: In order to prevent the occurrence of diabetes, it is recommended that new mothers undergo an OGTT test 6 to 12 weeks after delivery. If the test results are normal, follow-up examinations should be conducted every 2 years thereafter. Those with high-risk factors should be checked once a year.

2. The general fasting whole blood glucose level is 3.9-6.1 mmol/L (70-110 mg/dL), and the normal value of postprandial blood glucose is

① 1 hour after meal: blood sugar 6.7-9.4mmol/L. The maximum value is no more than 11.1mmol/L (200mg/dl)

②2 hours after meal: blood sugar ≤7.8mmol/L.

③3 hours after meal: Return to normal after the third hour, and all urine sugar levels are negative

Normal blood sugar levels in pregnant women

① Pregnant women should not exceed 5.1mmol/L on an empty stomach

② One hour after a meal for pregnant women: The blood sugar level one hour after a meal is generally used to detect diabetes in pregnant women. Authoritative data show that the normal blood sugar level for pregnant women should not exceed 10.0mmol/L one hour after a meal;

③ 2 hours after a meal for pregnant women: The normal blood sugar level after a meal is generally not allowed to exceed 11.1mmol/L, and the normal blood sugar level for pregnant women 2 hours after a meal is not allowed to exceed 8.5mmol/L. 3. During pregnancy, pancreatic islet function is active, the insulin content in the blood is high, and the fasting blood sugar level of pregnant women is slightly lower.

The normal value for ordinary people is: 70-108mg/dl (3.89-6.11mmol/l).

Pregnant women should pay attention to sugar supplementation if the level is too low, less than 3.89mmol/l, as pregnant women are very likely to suffer from hypoglycemia coma.
