Patient's question:
Doctor, my wife has gestational diabetes. Due to bleeding in her lower abdomen, she underwent a cesarean section at 37 weeks. At the time, I noticed small hairs on the baby's ears. After birth, the baby 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 it is measured as plasma glucose, it is considered hyperglycemic if it is greater than 8.4. This test report usually indicates what type of measurement was taken. Your child's brain hypoxia was caused by poor blood sugar control by the mother during pregnancy.The response from the person (Response ID 2055-09-2323:18:22) is within the normal range. Your child's condition is related to hypoxia in the womb.
