My sugar test came slightly high in 2nd trimester and im a bit tense. I never had sugar issue before so cant understand why it happens now. Can someone explain in simple words?
Honestly, those pregnancy hormones block insulin, which makes your sugar levels go up. I just delivered last month and had to manage my diet strictly because my 24th week test came back high.
It is mostly due to the placenta hormones acting up! 📈 Don't worry too much, with a little walking and diet change, it is very manageable. Keep smiling! 🌸
Our elders say it's because of eating for two, but actually it is just pregnancy hormones. My doctor explained that insulin resistance is common, so we must follow the diet chart they give.
At my hospital, the nutritionist explained that placenta hormones can cause insulin blockages. I highly recommend discussing your blood reports with your doctor and hospital dietitian for a proper meal plan.
