High blood sugar during pregnancy is diabetes? Can the child still be born?

Patient's question:

Two months without symptoms, seen at a local hospital

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be diabetes. Diabetes is caused by damaged islet B cells or insulin resistance. The former is Type 1 diabetes, and the latter is Type 2 diabetes. The exact cause of diabetes is still unclear, and it cannot be cured clinically. The main goal is to control blood sugar levels. Currently, surgical treatment is not available. It is recommended to check fasting blood glucose and, if necessary, perform a hemoglobin A1c test before starting treatment.
