Guidelines for hospital glucose tolerance test
For most pregnant mothers, glucose tolerance is really hard. Sugar water is very sweet, it tastes bad in the mouth and needs to be tossed for a long time. I certainly don't want the glucose tolerance to come again. At present, pregnant women basically have some sugar (sub-health plus strict glucose tolerance standards), and even if they are normal, their blood sugar will be at the critical point. Novice mothers are very nervous at every birth check-up, and passing the birth check-up is a green light for pregnant mothers.

For the glucose tolerance test, the following points should be noted:
Similar to the usual blood routine examination, you should fast any food and water after 22:00 the night before the examination. Pregnant women who are prone to hunger should go to bed early and must be restrained.
Communicate with the doctor in advance, make a checklist and determine the time to avoid the long fasting time on the day of examination (pregnant women need to cope with the operation of two people, and fasting is more likely to cause dizziness and discomfort)
Go out early that morning. There are many people in the blood drawing department of the hospital in the morning. Go early to avoid queuing.
Bring your own water cup (some hospitals do not provide water cups). You must wait for the nurse to make sugar water. If there is no nurse, wait for the nurse to come. Don't be smart. When you see that the nurse is not here, you should wash it. The doctor won't admit the test results.
Be sure to mix the powdered sugar evenly. After the nurse has soaked it, it's best to stir it with a straw. Sugar sinks easily, and it's even worse if you don't stir it.
Drink the brewed sugar water slowly within 5 minutes. Don't drink too fast. You can drink it through a straw to reduce the chance of sugar water staying in your mouth. You can only use this method to make yourself feel less uncomfortable.
From the first sip of sugar water, the second and third blood samples were taken after drinking sugar water 1 hour and 2 hours respectively. There is no need to re-take the number for the next two blood draws in a general hospital. Set the alarm clock, tell the nurse five minutes in advance, and it will be arranged for you.
You should fast all morning, and don't think that you will relax and have breakfast after the first blood and the second blood.
Many pregnant women, including myself, will feel sick and vomiting after drinking sugar water, so we must hold back; You can go to the small garden of the hospital to get some fresh air. It will be more comfortable.
Prepare some snacks and replenish energy immediately after the third blood draw.
Now the hospital can produce the results on the same day, and you can show them to the results doctor when you come back from lunch. You can also refer to the following blood sugar standards. Within the standard range, you don't need to see a doctor in a hurry.
Normal range of blood sugar during pregnancy:
Fasting: 3.3 mmol/L-5.1mmol/L.
The first meal:
The second meal:
If it exceeds this range, it is gestational diabetes. If it exceeds this range, it is necessary to strictly control sugar and arrange another glucose tolerance test. This is hopeless. )
It is suggested that everyone should control sugar from the beginning of pregnancy, usually have a light diet, and pregnant mothers who love sweets should not worry too much. Drink plenty of water to increase exercise and promote metabolism, and don't eat too much fruit, just in moderation.
