Uncontrolled gestational diabetes can cause the fetus to be born with a low birth weight.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
Untreated gestational diabetes can severely deplete fetal iron stores. In addition, uncontrolled diabetes can cause the fetus to grow quite large. The oversupply of glucose from maternal circulation signals the fetus to increase insulin production, which causes fetal tissues to readily use glucose for growth. Another threat is that the infant may have low blood glucose at birth because of the tendency to produce extra insulin, which began during gestation. Other concerns are the potential for preterm delivery and increased risk of birth trauma and malformations.
