Patient's question:
Hello, how serious is gestational diabetes in pregnancy? Will it affect the fetus or be passed down to the fetus across generations?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the severity of gestational diabetes you are inquiring about, it first depends on how much the patient's blood sugar has elevated. If the increase is not significant, it can be considered not very severe. However, if the increase is relatively noticeable, it will require close monitoring.But, this condition is generally not inherited from one generation to the next in the fetus. However, if the condition is left untreated, it can affect the fetus. You can now undergo an OGTT test for a thorough examination. Based on the test results, you can then decide whether to take measures such as insulin for treatment.
