Can a high blood glucose prevent you from conceiving?

Answer 1

It doesn't help but you can help yourself if you:-
1. Aim for normal blood glucose levels at conception and throughout the pregnancy by appropriate educational support, regular self-monitoring of blood glucose and frequent (weekly or biweekly) review.
2. Target blood glucose values should be as close to normal as possible, while avoiding hypoglycaemia:
Fasting blood glucose <5.6 mmol/l (<100 mg/dl);
Post-prandial blood glucose <8.0 mmol/l (<145 mg/dl);
3. Glycated haemoglobin close to the upper limit of normal.
4. A multiple insulin injection regimen may suit the motivated pregnant woman, and may aid those not achieving acceptable blood glucose control.
5. Food intake should be adequate to maintain maternal and fetal nutrition; frequent small meals may facilitate improved blood glucose control.
6. Regular fundal examination is needed (pre-pregnancy, at diagnosis, at the end of the first trimester, and in weeks 20-24 and 30-34. Early laser photocoagulation should be given if necessary.
7. Avoid destroying the normal experience of pregnancy through over zealous application of medical technology.
