What are the effects of gestational diabetes in pregnant women on children?

Patient's question:

First blood sugar test

Doctor's answer:

Hello! I don't know what your blood sugar level is. The normal fasting blood sugar level is 3.9–6.1, and the normal post-meal 2-hour blood sugar level is 4.4–7.8. If your blood sugar exceeds this range, treatment should be taken. Medications are contraindicated for treatment, as they may cause teratogenic effects on the fetus. Therefore, insulin should be used for treatment, as it has no adverse effects on adults or the fetus!
