Patient's question:
My mother-in-law is 43 years old and just found out she is about 3 months pregnant. She weighs over 150 pounds and has high blood lipids, high blood pressure, and diabetes. I want to consult if her physical condition allows her to have a child. My husband is 24 years old, and we plan to have a baby next year, so I want to consult if, if she can have a child, we can delay having a baby for a few more years.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Once a diabetic is diagnosed, they should receive standard treatment. Blood sugar fluctuations can cause damage to the body's organs and accelerate the occurrence of complications. The treatment of diabetes should be tailored to the individual circumstances of the patient. Advice: First, it is important to understand the patient's blood sugar levels, insulin function, and whether they have any complications before formulating a specific treatment plan. Avoid using medication blindly, as this may delay the condition. The treatment of diabetes should focus on five aspects: dietary therapy, exercise therapy, diabetes education, and blood sugar monitoring. If any one of these aspects is not properly addressed, it will affect the treatment. It is recommended to seek standard treatment at a specialized diabetes hospital. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
