Does high blood glucose during pregnancy affect the child?

Patient's question:

No special pregnancy at 26 weeks. One hour after drinking sugar water, glucose is 9.16

Doctor's answer:

Drinking glucose has no effect on the baby.
Advice: You must have a fasting blood glucose test result higher than the normal value. Generally, if the fasting blood glucose is higher than 7.8 mmol/L, an OGTT test is required to rule out gestational diabetes. If the blood sugar is very high, the diet throughout the entire pregnancy needs to be paid attention to, otherwise, there may be a risk of various complications, such as polyhydramnios or macrosomia. It is recommended to undergo this test, which has no effect on the child.
