Diabetic patients need to control their condition by taking insulin. When diabetic patients become pregnant, they will be worried about whether insulin will affect the fetus. So does insulin taking during pregnancy need to be hospitalized?
Insulin therapy during pregnancy does not necessarily require hospitalization, it needs to be analyzed based on the patient's physical condition. If the patient's blood sugar tends to normal, insulin can be administered at home after being prescribed in the hospital, but it is still necessary to test the blood sugar level in a timely manner; If the patient's blood sugar is abnormal or unstable, hospitalization is necessary for more detailed treatment. After the patient's blood sugar returns to normal, they can be discharged from the hospital.
If the patient's blood sugar control is good, then the hospitalization time is relatively short. During hospitalization, patients should also pay attention to their diet and try not to consume sugary foods. Their diet must be balanced. Patients should check their blood sugar levels in a timely manner during pregnancy, and seek medical treatment promptly if any abnormal conditions are found. In addition to supplementing insulin, regular prenatal checkups should also be conducted to observe the development of the fetus.
Good blood glucose control during pregnancy can reduce stress and prevent fetal complications. Moreover, insulin is essentially a large molecule protein that does not pass through the placenta, so it is not harmful to the fetus and can also control blood sugar.
