Case Report: Hyperglycemia in Pregnancy and The Impacts on Fetal Welfare

Abstract

Background: Hyperglycemia in pregnancy is related to the outcome of pregnancy. According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes diagnosed in the second or third trimester of pregnancy without a history of diabetes is associated with macrosomia, perinatal complications, and neonatal and maternal morbidity.Case Presentation: This study involved 3 pregnant women with different characteristics of age, parity, and gestational age. All the women in the cases were found to have high glucose levels in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy and received therapy.Conclusion: Based on observational studies, patients with pregestational DM have better outcomes if the HbA1c level is <6-6.5%. In the second and third trimesters, the risk of macrosomia, preterm delivery, and preeclampsia is lower if the HbA1c level is <6%. Keywords: BMI, Diabetes Gestational, Glucose level, Pregestational Diabetes
