Patient's question:
Doctor, my wife has gestational diabetes. Due to bleeding in her lower abdomen, she underwent a cesarean section at 37 weeks. When I saw small hairs on the baby's ears, she was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit for observation. Three days later, a brain CT scan was performed.Doctor's answer:
The full blood glucose level of a newborn is considered hypoglycemic if it is less than 2.2, and hyperglycemic if it is greater than 7. If the measured value is plasma glucose, it is considered hyperglycemic if it is greater than 8.4. This test report usually specifies what type of measurement was taken. Your child's hypoxia was caused by poor blood sugar control by the mother during pregnancy.The response to the inquiry dated 2055-09-23 23:18:22 is within the normal range. Your child's condition is related to hypoxia experienced in the womb.
