What Does This Blood Report Indicate?

Posted on Tue, 5 Jan 2016

Question: I would like to know whether these numbers reflect a case of gestational diabeties. My wife is 7 months pregnant and we have gotten this test done yesterday.

We had a basic glucose test done a week ago and the result was high and therefore we started some exercise and diet control and these results were achieved.

Brief Answer:
Glucose levels are almost normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
I have seen the attached report. The blood glucose levels after taking 100 gm glucose are just within normal limits. This cannot be considered as a case of gestational diabetes. Diet control and decreasing the fat intake will help in preventing the onset of gestational diabetes.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
