Does high blood sugar in pregnant women cause the baby to be oxygen-deprived during childbirth?

Patient's question:

Pregnant with unstable blood sugar levels, now at 39 weeks. Occasionally, my blood sugar spikes once or twice. Will this cause the baby to be oxygen-deprived during delivery?

Doctor's answer:

A pregnant woman with high blood sugar but not gestational diabetes should pay attention to controlling the intake of sugar and starch foods. Advice: If it meets the criteria for gestational diabetes, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to get medication to control blood sugar.
