Hello doctor. The doctor told me that my fasting blood sugar test was 74 mg/dl, after 1 hour the index increased to 180 mg/dl, the second time it was 131 mg/dl. I would like to ask if I have gestational diabetes with these results?

Gestational diabetes is a common disease in pregnant women but does not show any specific symptoms. Therefore, glucose testing during pregnancy is the only way for pregnant women to detect the disease. So what does this test mean for the mother and fetus?

During pregnancy, your baby will depend on you for the nutrients it needs to grow. That’s why it’s important to make sure you’re making the best food choices for your baby and yourself. It’s important to eat a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables. These powerhouse foods contain a wide range of nutrients that you and your baby need to stay healthy.
