Her sugars are uncontrolled. Diabetes in pregnancy increases chances of miscarriage, increased fluid, preterm delivery and complications in the baby such as low sugars and ICU stay.
There are 2 pills that can be taken safely in pregnancy , and sugars need to be monitored daily. If he medicines don’t control sugars, then insulin may become necessary.
