Patient's question:
I am a diabetic, and my blood sugar has been high recently. A few days ago, ketones appeared, but they have now decreased. However, I discovered I am pregnant and have been confirmed. Can this child still be kept? Will it be a deformed child?Doctor's answer:
Hello, diabetes is a metabolic disease caused by a relative or absolute deficiency of insulin secretion. During pregnancy, it can worsen and complicate the condition, making blood sugar control difficult and increasing the risk of various complications for both mother and baby, such as miscarriage, premature birth, polyhydramnios, preeclampsia, infections, ketoacidosis, and neonatal asphyxia.It is best to undergo a thorough examination at the hospital, consult with a doctor about the relevant matters, and then decide whether to keep the child.
