Patient's question:
What are the adverse effects of gestational diabetes on the newborn baby? A baby born at 38+3 weeks via normal delivery weighs 2.89 kg, and it is not a macrosomia. The baby was transferred to the pediatric department for examination. The baby had blood tests, received intravenous drips of meropenem and sulbactam for five days, and subsequent blood tests were conducted before discharge. Please ask if this situation affects the baby's health and whether the baby has a higher risk of developing diabetes in the future.Doctor's answer:
After pregnancy, if various degrees of reduced glucose tolerance or obvious diabetes are found, whether insulin is needed or only dietary treatment is used, and whether this condition persists after delivery, it can be considered gestational diabetes.Advice: Insulin therapy should be used during pregnancy. Oral hypoglycemic drugs and high blood sugar toxicity are prone to cause fetal malformations or miscarriage. It is recommended that you go to a diabetes specialty hospital for further detailed examination to accurately evaluate your condition, personalized treatment based on standardized principles, and only good blood sugar control can ensure the healthy growth of the baby. Strict dietary control and appropriate exercise.
