is it dangerous if suger in urine is find while you pregnant?
Answers:
In pregnancy, the body changes the way it manages glucose and reacts to insulin. For some, the extent of these changes means a diagnosis of gestational diabetes (diabetes in pregnancy) is made.
In some countries a short glucose tolerance test is done at around 28 weeks in all women to detect this. In the UK women are usually screened if they:
develop glucose (sugar) in the urine, which is common and often doesn't develop into gestational diabetes
have a family history of diabetes
are very overweight
have a large baby
show signs of excess fluid around the baby.
The diagnosis of gestational diabetes is usually made if the fasting blood sample is greater than 7mmol/l or if the two-hour level is greater than 11.1mmol/l. Cut off levels for diagnosis vary a little between different units.
Your blood glucose level was entirely normal.
If someone is diagnosed with gestational diabetes, the mainstay of treatment is a diet with reduced fat, increased fibre and regulation of carbohydrate intake.
Eliminating certain foods from your diet can lead to rapid improvement, for example high calorie drinks, snack foods and fresh orange juice.
While the result of your blood test means there is no need for you to be concerned about diabetes, adhering to a lower fat, high fibre diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, and avoiding high calorie foods can only be a good thing.
Don't panic but DO see your GP asap.

It just means that you may have gestational diabetes. You may have to start checking your blood sugar every few hours but it's nothing to panic about. I have three daughters and had gestational diabetes with all 3 of them and they are teenagers now and very healthy!
Could be a sign of pre-eclampsia but u're midwife should be monitoring u, so she will tell u if there is anything to worry about.
Hi it could indicate that you have maternal diabetes, which often disappears after the birth of your baby, I hope your health professional is advising you and taking care of you.
Don't worry to much.. I had the same when i was pregnant and my son is a healthy 18 year old now.. The hospital and doctor will moniter you throughout your pregnancy. Try not to worry :)
It means that you have been eating too many sugary foods and you need to cut down on the sweet stuff!
It could also indicate that your body is not regulating the sugar correctly. I suggest a trip to your midwife. In the meantime, stay off any foods with sugar. Keep your carbs low too. Stick to home cooked food such as fish / chicken and veggies. Avoid processed foods (anything that comes in a package)
Eat healthy and this will help but you need to get checked out pretty soon.

yes, it could mean you have diabetes.
This could be a sign of gestational diabetes. That means temporary diabetes while pregnant. It is not that uncommon. It can cause you to have a very large baby. My granny had a 12 lbs and 10 lb baby. See your doctor right away for advice.
Sugar in urine is a sign of diabetes. Diabetes is serious at any time, but doubly so when you are pregnant. Get to your doctor as fast as you can.
Just curious -- how did you find sugar in your urine? Are you home testing or did your doctor send you out for tests?
It could be a sign of diabetes. Some women develop diabetes while pregnant so I think you should get it checked out.
