Premature infant with high blood sugar, what tests are needed?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women may develop gestational diabetes in the later stages of pregnancy. After delivery, the mother's blood sugar levels often return to normal, but the baby may experience neonatal hypoglycemia, with very few cases of hyperglycemia. It is recommended to seek further medical examination. If the blood sugar slightly increases, it may be due to stress and does not require treatment, as it can return to normal on its own. If the levels are excessively high, it may indicate abnormal insulin secretion.
