Normal venous blood sugar

With the improvement of living standards, many people pay more and more attention to their physical health and often go to the hospital for some check-ups. Especially those who have symptoms of high blood sugar will pay special attention to their blood sugar levels and often test their venous blood sugar levels. When their blood sugar levels are high, they will adjust them. However, there will be some differences in blood sugar levels at different times or among different groups of people.

1. What is the reference value of venous blood sugar?

1. Normal reference value of fasting blood sugar

Generally, the fasting whole blood glucose level is 3.9-6.1 mmol/L (70-110 mg/dL), and the plasma glucose level is 3.9-6.9 mmol/L (70-125 mg/dL).

2. Reference value of normal blood sugar after meal

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

2 hours after meal: blood sugar ≤7.8 mmol/l.

3. Normal blood sugar levels for pregnant women

Pregnant women should not exceed 5.1mmol/L on a fasting diet

Pregnant women 1 hour after meal: Blood sugar level 1 hour after 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 1 hour after meal.

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.

What to do if your blood sugar level is high

1. Adjust your diet

The total daily calorie intake and nutritional content are generally determined based on your weight and the intensity of your physical activity. In addition, the intake of alcohol, salt, high-cholesterol foods, fat and sugar should be limited.

2. Exercise more

You should do exercise and workout of appropriate intensity every day according to your age and physical condition, such as walking, gymnastics, and Tai Chi. Regular exercise can not only improve the quality of life, but also increase insulin sensitivity and improve blood sugar and blood lipid levels. People with type 2 diabetes generally achieve better blood sugar control with increased exercise.

3. Adjust medication

Although exercise and dietary adjustments are economical and have few side effects, when these practices cannot bring blood sugar to the ideal level, it indicates that it is necessary to adjust medication. Compared with the first two methods, drugs can indeed treat hyperglycemia faster and more effectively. It is recommended that diabetic patients take it under the doctor's advice.

4. Check blood sugar

Increase the frequency of blood sugar monitoring and perform other blood sugar tests. If your blood sugar level exceeds the blood sugar range set by your doctor, you need to test your blood sugar every two hours until your blood sugar level returns to normal.
