What are the symptoms of high blood sugar during pregnancy?
My sugar test is due soon and I am worrying because I feel thirsty and tired often. I don't know if these are normal pregnancy things or sugar related. What symptoms did anyone notice before diagnosis?
It's great to be aware of the symptoms. Common signs of high blood sugar include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained fatigue, and sometimes blurred vision. Many women might not have noticeable symptoms, which is why routine screening is important. Stay positive and follow your doctor's advice.
I remember getting screened for gestational diabetes. Sometimes there are no symptoms at all, which is why they test everyone. But if you're really thirsty, peeing a lot, or feeling unusually tired, those could be signs. It's manageable if caught early, so don't worry, just keep up with your check-ups.
I had gestational diabetes, so I know this well. Often, there are no obvious symptoms initially, which is why they test for it around 24-28 weeks. But if you do feel something, it could be excessive thirst, needing to urinate a lot, extreme fatigue, blurred vision, or even frequent infections. If you experience any of these, contact your doctor immediately.
This is something I'm actually worried about for when I get pregnant, so thanks for asking! I've heard about gestational diabetes. So, is it mostly feeling really thirsty and tired? And do they always test for it, or do you have to ask?
Hey! Don't stress too much, but it's good you're asking. High blood sugar (gestational diabetes) can sometimes have no symptoms, but look out for being super thirsty, frequent urination, constant fatigue, or blurred vision. If you feel any of these consistently, just give your doc a call, okay?
The journey to pregnancy can be intense, and every symptom can feel magnified. With high blood sugar, sometimes there are no clear signs, which is why regular checks are so important. But if you're noticing you're extremely thirsty, tired beyond the usual pregnancy fatigue, or needing to use the washroom much more, please speak to your doctor without delay. They will guide you.
My saasji used to always tell me to watch out for too much मीठा. High blood sugar can show up as feeling very thirsty all the time, or needing to pee often. Sometimes you also feel really tired. If you notice these, tell your gynac right away, they'll check it out.
