Patient's question:
Previously found high post-meal blood sugar, which has been elevated for six months. Results: Fasting 5.04; Two hours post-meal 11.48; Three hours 6.78.Doctor's answer:
Gestational diabetes is a special type of diabetes. It refers to the presence of various degrees of reduced glucose tolerance or overt diabetes after confirmation of pregnancy, regardless of whether insulin is needed or only dietary treatment is used, and regardless of whether this condition persists after delivery. The impact on pregnancy: reduced fertility, increased miscarriage rate, increased incidence of gestational hypertension syndrome, increased incidence of polyhydramnios, and increased rate of obstetric infections. The impact on the fetus and infant: increased incidence of congenital anomalies, increased incidence of macrosomia, increased prevalence of intrauterine growth restriction and low birth weight infants, increased incidence of fetal erythrocytosis, increased incidence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, increased susceptibility to neonatal hypoglycemia, increased incidence of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, and high mortality rates for both the fetus and newborn. Although diabetes has a certain genetic predisposition, the child born may not necessarily develop diabetes. Neonatal diabetes is primarily type 1 diabetes. It is recommended to first control your blood sugar levels now.
