• What causes Gestational glycosuria

    Gestational glycosuria is diabetes that occurs around five or six months into pregnancy. The main reason is that pregnant women gain weight during pregnancy and their demand for insulin increases, but the pancreas fails to provide sufficient insulin secretion; at the same time, during pregnancy The body will secrete some hormones that compete with insulin, causing the function of insulin to decrease. Under this condition, excess sugar will accumulate in the blood, causing blood sugar to rise, causing gestational diabetes.

    Gestational diabetes generally has no obvious symptoms, but if a pregnant woman eats, drinks, or urinates a lot, and her weight does not rise but falls; or if she does not eat much and her urine sugar test is positive during prenatal care, she may have gestational glycosuria. Blood glucose screening is required to confirm whether gestational diabetes is present. If pregnant women have doubts about their condition, they should discuss with their doctor to arrange a check-up as soon as possible, and conduct regular self-monitoring glucose test would help to know your current situation better.
