Question
Should babies born to pregnant women who have high blood sugar levels during pregnancy undergo blood sugar tests?
Answer
Hello, diabetes during pregnancy can be very dangerous if the blood sugar is not corrected. Long-term elevated blood sugar levels not only affect the mother but also pose significant harm to the fetus, mainly affecting the development of the nervous system and other organs. The baby may not need a blood sugar test after birth, but it is necessary to check for heart and brain development and for any congenital damage to other organs.
