Patient's question:
I am 26 weeks pregnant. I went to the hospital for a blood test and found high blood sugar. Fasting blood sugar was 3.78, one hour after taking sugar it was 10.17; two hours later it was 9.22; and hemoglobin A1c was 5.30.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Hyperglycemia during pregnancy is stress-induced. It doesn't need to be controlled as long as it's not too high! If it is too high, it needs to be controlled because prolonged high blood sugar can cause the baby to grow too large, increasing the difficulty of delivery. The control of blood sugar during pregnancy mainly involves the use of insulin.
