Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, during gestational diabetes, pregnant women experience insufficient sugar utilization and lack of energy. To compensate for the lack of thermal energy, the body is forced to mobilize stored energy, leading to increased protein and fat breakdown, as well as accelerated gluconeogenesis. This results in a negative nitrogen balance, causing a series of symptoms in both adults and children. It stimulates the proliferation of insulin-producing beta cells in the fetus, leading to the production of large amounts of insulin, which promotes protein and fat synthesis while inhibiting fat breakdown. The accumulation of fat throughout the fetus's body leads to fetal macrosomia. Therefore, it is recommended that you opt for a cesarean section for safety to avoid the risk of dystocia. Wishing you a happy pregnancy.
