A member asked:
Hi my wife is 34weeks pregnant we did a home glucose test and it measures 17.8?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hmmm....: Most people do not own a glucose tester, so having one means there is some blood sugar concerns at home. A 17.8 result converts to about 320 mg/dL in the US and is rather high. That means following the doctor's instructions on what to do with a high result... such as see the doctor, go to the ER, etc... The doctor will want to know what any symptoms are, and likely order blood and urine tests.
