Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, if you have high blood sugar, if you get pregnant in the late stage, it may affect the baby being too large, leading to macrosomia. After the baby is born, their lung function may not be very good, and it needs to be handled as a premature baby. If you have early pregnancy diabetes, it may affect the placental function, and the baby's growth and development may be too slow. You need to actively control your blood sugar, and pay attention to eating small meals frequently and exercising for half an hour after meals. It is recommended to regularly go to the hospital for follow-up checks.
