Diabetic pregnant women at greater risk: expert
Ludhiana, November 16 According to Dr Vineeta Munjal, consultant gynaecologist and obstetrician at Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital here, during pregnancy stress was caused due to hormonal changes and metabolic changes occurring during this period. As a result, many of the metabolic disorders like diabetes mellitus surfaced among many a pregnant women. Stressing the need for pre and post-conceptional control of blood sugar levels for successful outcome of pregnancy, Dr Munjal observed that the pregnant woman might be a known diabetic, a clinical syndrome characterised by increased sugar level and absolute or relative deficiency of insulin, might manifest for the first time during pregnant state. “A highly regulated lifestyle and drug therapy is required, for a strict metabolic control of blood sugar will go a long way towards preventing foetal and maternal complications of diabetes, be it gestational or otherwise. The diabetic woman, who is planning pregnancy, should go for strict blood sugar control prior to conception since high blood sugar level will expose her to the risk of abortion, still birth, intra-uterine death or an abnormally formed baby.” Dr Munjal maintained that if the blood sugar levels were kept in control within normal limits, the outcome of pregnancy would be normal. But for this purpose, the mothers-to-be would have to follow a strict diet chart which should be adjusted according to caloric requirement of pregnancy. “The expecting women have to be taught to self-monitor the blood glucose level at home and even to inject insulin themselves. Those on oral hypoglycemic drugs also have to change over to insulin therapy as the oral drugs have a tendency to cause malformation on foetus.”
