Patient's question:
I am four months pregnant and recently discovered high blood sugar during a prenatal check-up. I'm upset about the potential negative impact on the child. What should I do about high blood sugar during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If it's just this time going to the hospital for a thorough check-up and your blood sugar is high, it cannot be confirmed for sure that it's hyperglycemia or diabetes. It's likely due to eating too much sweet food recently. It's recommended that you go to the hospital again in a few days to check your fasting blood sugar. During this period, you must avoid eating sweet things. If three consecutive check-ups show high blood sugar, you may need to take some blood sugar-lowering medication appropriately.
