Understanding HbA1C Control and Pregnancy Risks in Diabetes - Dr Vikram Vasagan
Contrary to a common misconception, having diabetes doesn't mean a person cannot have a normal pregnancy. With proper planning, regular monitoring, and medical guidance, individuals with diabetes can achieve a healthy pregnancy.
Good blood sugar control, including maintaining HbA1c below 7%, is critical during pregnancy to minimize risks for both the mother and baby. It's crucial to emphasize that while controlling HbA1c is vital in diabetes management, it does not preclude the possibility of a normal and healthy pregnancy with appropriate medical support and care.
In this video, Dr Vikram Vasagan discusses the significance of maintaining HbA1c levels below 7% for individuals with diabetes. Emphasizing the importance of this threshold, Dr Vikram Vasagan also dispels the misconception that people with diabetes cannot experience a normal pregnancy.
