Question
At 26 weeks pregnant, a blood sugar level of 9.16 mmol/L was measured one hour after drinking a sugary drink; does it affect the fetus?
Answer
If the fasting blood sugar level is higher than the normal value, it is recommended to undergo an OGTT test to rule out the possibility of gestational diabetes. High blood sugar may lead to complications such as polyhydramnios or macrosomia, so dietary management during pregnancy should be noted. This test has no effect on the fetus.
