Ask:

My wife went to the hospital for more than 6 months to find out that she had gestational diabetes. Later, she always had high blood sugar. This phenomenon did not appear before. She wanted to take insulin to control blood sugar because she was afraid to take medicine. , But I'm afraid it will affect the baby's health.

 

Reply:

Gestational diabetes must be treated with insulin. If the blood sugar is too high without insulin treatment, it may cause a large fetus, premature delivery, and complications such as polyhydramnios infection.
