Doctor, my girlfriend is 19 years old and has high blood sugar. Can she have children?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my girlfriend is 19 years old this year and has been pregnant for over a month. However, she has high blood sugar and has been taking blood sugar-lowering medication for a month. Can this child be born? Will there be any sequelae?

Doctor's answer:

If it is gestational diabetes, it first poses a risk of causing abnormalities in the child, but it is not absolute. If diabetes occurs during pregnancy, it is possible to use anesthetized insulin aspart. This type of insulin can be used for pregnant women, so regular blood sugar checks and all the necessary tests during pregnancy must be performed. Regular prenatal check-ups are required. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
