What are the pregnant lady sugar range?by Sandeep
ANSWER: Hi Sandeep, Generally the normal blood glucose level of a pregnant woman is just like the one for every healthy person 3.5-6.1mmol/l or 64.8-104.4mg/dl, depending on the unit of measurement. However, interesting fact is that some of the pregnant women are having slight elevation of the blood glucose concentration. This elevation is caused by increased consumption of glucose, because during pregnancy, ladies think to eat for two organisms. But, this elevation may appear because of the inability of your body to produce enough insulin for you and for the baby. This condition is known as gestational diabetes and it common in the pregnant women. Patients with gestational diabetes are obligated to use drugs, which are reducing the blood glucose concentration of theirs, but a confirmation of this diagnose is must. So, if the blood glucose result of your is little bit elevated, you have to visit your gynecologists for consultation. There are several other these, which has to be estimated in purpose to confirm or exclude diabetes as diagnose. Hope it helped! Dr.Alba |
