Pregnant, Monitoring Sugar Levels. Levels Increased After TT Shot. Why?
Hello Doc, I am 17 weeks pregnant and have been asked by my doctor to monitor blood sugar levels twice a day. It wa s within the reference range yesterday..and in the morning ( fasting )..I was given a TT shot in the afternoon today and my blood sugar lever post lunch and dinner (2 hrs) have increased by to 150. I am curious to know if this has been caused by the TT shot ?

Hi thanks for your question.
Any stress can increase the blood sugar leve.It is not the tetnus injection which has increased the your blood sugar level ,but actually it prick of needle and the pain which has increased your blood glucose level.Post lunch normal blood glucose level is 140 mg/dl,so this 10 mg increase could be due needle prick.
Hope this answers your question.
