During pregnancy, many girls may experience high blood sugar levels. But is it worth it to panic prematurely?
First of all, you need to identify the cause and start to eliminate it, so as not to harm baby.
Main reasons
During pregnancy, the load on the pancreas increases in girls, which more actively provokes glucose. Because of this, a woman who previously had such a predisposition could be susceptible to diabetes. The risk of such a disease is high in the following group of pregnant women:
- hereditary predisposition;
- late first pregnancy;
- excess weight;
- polycystic ovary syndrome;
What to do if sugar is high
If your doctors have diagnosed gestational diabetes, you need to first monitor your sugar levels yourself. The specialist will prescribe a special diet and exercise. Among the main recommendations are the following:
- fractional meals;
- minimization of simple carbohydrates;
- reducing the amount of complex carbohydrates;
- moderate physical activity;
- control of sugar levels with a glucometer one hour after meals every 4-5 times a day.
