Elevated HbA1c levels during pregnancy can have significant implications. It may indicate poor blood sugar control, increasing the risk of gestational diabetes complications for both the mother and the baby. Uncontrolled high blood sugar can lead to macrosomia (large baby), birth complications, preterm birth, and an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Close monitoring and management are essential to ensure a healthy pregnancy outcome.
