What should be the blood sugar level during pregnancy?
Got my routine bloodwork done this week and now im confused looking at the numbers. Trying to understand what range is considered ok in pregnancy before i meet my gynac next week.
My gynac explained fasting should be on the lower side and post meal under around 120-140 depending on the timing. They do the GTT test usually around 24-28 weeks to check. Your doctor will give exact numbers for you.
The GTT test is cheap and most hospitals include it in the package. Get it done on time and the doctor tells you your safe levels, no need to guess from here.
I dont want to give wrong numbers because it varies, but they did make me do the sugar test and keep an eye on it. Better to ask your gynac for your personal target range, mine watched mine closely because of pcos.
The lab and your doctor will tell you the exact safe range, dont go by internet numbers. Just make sure you do the glucose tolerance test on time, thats important.
When i had GD my doc wanted fasting below 95 and after meal under 120 roughly, but pls confirm with your own doctor as targets can differ a bit. They give you a glucometer and a chart to follow.
