Had Gestational Diabetes While Pregnancy. 9 Month Baby Having Blood Sugar Of 7.8. Is This Normal?
Question: My 9 month had blood sugar of 7.8 is this normal
I had gestational diabetes whilst pregnant and husband is type 1
I had gestational diabetes whilst pregnant and husband is type 1
Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
The normal range of fasting blood sugar is 3.5 to 6.0 mmol/L.
Thus if 7.8 is fasting blood sugar, it is high.
Gestational diabetes can occur during pregnancy, but it is not transmitted through heredity, but if father has type-1, son is predisposed to it.
Please consult a pediatrician for proper evaluation and treatment(if required).
Thanks for trusting XXXXXXX and posting your query.
Hope you found my response to your query informative and helpful.
If you have further concerns in this regard, I would be happy to discuss those with you as well.
With good wishes,
Dr.Chandra Shekhar Sharma
