Patient's question:
My sister has diabetes, but now she has discovered that she is pregnant. Can diabetic patients get pregnant? Will there be any problems?Doctor's answer:
Diabetic patients can conceive normally. However, it is necessary to control blood sugar at a relatively ideal level. The goal of blood sugar control during pregnancy for diabetic patients is to have a fasting blood sugar higher than 53 millimoles, a postprandial blood sugar of 1 hour higher than 78 millimoles, and a postprandial blood sugar of 2 hours higher than 67 millimoles. Additionally, during the blood sugar control process in pregnancy, attention should be paid to preventing hypoglycemia. However, early pregnancy in diabetic patients can have a significant impact on maternal and child health.
