Patient's question:
Does high blood sugar during pregnancy affect the fetus?Doctor's answer:
High blood sugar can potentially affect the fetus, such as hypoxia or neonatal hypoglycemia, and may increase the probability of developing diabetes later, as well as the possibility of congenital malformations in a small number of cases. From the perspective of either the mother or the child, blood sugar levels need to be adjusted. First, medication sensitivity should be considered, or insulin may be necessary if control is poor. Second, the diet should be planned according to diabetic dietary guidelines, calculating the total required amount.
