How to control blood sugar during pregnancy?

I use my experience to talk about how I control my blood sugar during pregnancy.

Postpregnancy blood glucose testing is generally done at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy. A blood sugar test was done at 24 weeks of pregnancy. When testing, I need to go to the hospital on an empty stomach in the morning The doctor gave me 75 grams of glucose powder after drawing blood from an empty stomach vein, washed it with 250-300 ml of warm water and drank it in five minutes. I began to record the time when I started drinking the first sip of sugar water, and I took venous blood one hour later, two hours later and three hours later. According to certain data standards, I measured whether I had hyperglycemia during pregnancy or gestational diabetes.

When I was pregnant with a baby, I couldn't eat all day and couldn't sleep all night because of my poor appetite. Can't sleep, hungry, bored and eat. I can't eat anything else, so I eat a lot of fruits every day. Because it is summer, I eat a lot of honeydew melons, mangoes and cantaloupes. To what extent? You can eat two big mangoes in the middle of the night and cantaloupe during the day. I did this every day for half a month.

Here, I want to tell pregnant mothers that the sugar content of honeydew melon, cantaloupe and mango is really super high, so it must be controlled during pregnancy. Eat less if you can. I didn't know at the time. I only know that eating fruit is good for the fetus, so I just went to do a glucose tolerance test for half a month (that is, measuring blood sugar during pregnancy). After the test results came out, the doctor directly said that my blood sugar level was too high and I might need to be hospitalized. The normal value of fasting blood glucose is 3.9-6. 1, and my fasting blood glucose is 7.8; The normal blood glucose level should be less than 7.8 two hours after meals, and my blood glucose level should be greater than 1 1 two hours after meals. All three blood sugar data were higher than normal. The doctor's final advice is to go home and control your diet for a week before re-examination. If the blood sugar level drops, don't be hospitalized. If the blood sugar level remains high, you will have to be hospitalized. So I went home with a nervous mood and tried to control my blood sugar.

In order to control the blood sugar level, I followed the doctor's advice and made the following efforts:

1, strictly control diet

Do not eat rice, steamed bread and other foods with high sugar content, and take coarse grains such as corncob as the staple food every day;

Don't eat mangoes, cantaloupes, bananas and other fruits. Eat more fruits with low sugar content such as cucumbers and tomatoes.

Do not eat fried, cakes, sweets and greasy food, and eat more vegetables every day;

Never drink drinks, drink more boiled water and eat less and more meals every day.

2. Exercise moderately according to your pregnancy. Because I am pregnant, I dare not do large-scale exercise, so I insist on taking a walk after meals every day and try to lie down as little as possible. I walk a lot at home, too, and I shake my arms and lift my legs when I have nothing to do.

3, standardize the work and rest time, make the work and rest time regular. I always don't sleep at night, and my biological clock is irregular, which will disturb my body function, make me fatter, and make me more prone to gestational diabetes.

According to the above three points, after a week of control, the blood sugar level has dropped a lot, so after a month of persistent control, the blood sugar level has finally become normal.

According to your picture, although the blood sugar is higher than normal two hours after meals, it is not much higher. I believe that with a little diet control, the blood sugar level can be reduced.

If you can't control your blood sugar level through diet, you should be hospitalized for insulin treatment according to your doctor's advice. If you can control your diet, try not to choose insulin therapy!

In short, keeping your mouth shut and holding your legs is the foundation of dietotherapy. I believe your blood sugar can be controlled!
