Is cesarean section safe during pregnancy with gestational diabetes?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it might 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 mechanism of diabetes is still unclear, and it cannot be cured clinically; the main goal is to control blood sugar. Currently, surgical treatment is not available. It is recommended to check fasting blood glucose and, if necessary, perform a glycosylated hemoglobin test before starting treatment.
