Do pregnant women with diabetes need to use insulin

  Most pregnant women with gestational diabetes can control their blood sugar to the ideal state without insulin treatment, but if their blood sugar does not reach the standard after regular diet and exercise treatment, they should be treated with insulin early. Why?  For example, if a person can normally carry a 100-pound burden, but now he has a 110-pound burden to carry, will he be able to carry it? But a long time, he may be tired of “dead”, in fact, he has another better choice is that he can find a helper to help him share 30 pounds of the burden, so that he will only pick 80 pounds of the burden, so he can easily complete the task. Obviously, the latter method is the more worthy choice. The use of insulin is also the same after the dietary guidance if your blood sugar still can not meet the standard, on behalf of your pancreatic function to work hard, but the task is still not completed, so this time with a certain amount of insulin can help you complete the task of blood sugar control, so that you and your fetus in the womb will be more comfortable, why not do it.  Some people worry that insulin will affect the baby, that it will become an addiction, or that it will be impossible to get rid of it after using it, but in fact these worries are superfluous, because insulin does not pass the mother-fetus barrier and has no effect on the fetus, so it will not have side effects on the fetus. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers-to-be who cannot control their blood sugar well after diet and exercise therapy should use insulin as soon as possible for the health of the fetus. This is because early treatment and early benefit are advocated for gestational diabetes.
