Patient's question:
I want to ask, at what blood sugar level during pregnancy do you need to take insulin? Does taking insulin have an effect on the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Hello, during pregnancy with diabetes, the main treatment method is to inject insulin. This is because glucose-lowering drugs cannot be taken, as they can affect the child. Generally, if the fasting blood glucose is higher than 7.0, insulin should be considered. Dietary adjustments are also necessary, including eating small meals frequently, consuming more vegetables, and reducing the intake of staple foods, with refined grains as the foundation and coarse grains as supplements.
