What are the hazards of gestational diabetes?

Patient's question:

I have had diabetes for a year. It's not very serious, it's mild, but I'm married and also pregnant. My family doesn't know I have diabetes, and I haven't told you about them. I'm afraid to say. What are the dangers of gestational diabetes during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, if early pregnancy diabetes occurs again, the main harm is that it affects the child's growth and development. It can lead to a significant increase in the child's weight and also impact the development of internal organs. The typical clinical manifestation is the occurrence of macrosomia. Children with risks such as choking, breathing difficulties, or organ malformation, therefore, require strict blood sugar control.
