Connecticut Unrecognized Gestational Diabetes Attorneys

Expecting moms do whatever they can to protect their own health and the health of their baby, so it may come as a shock and be extremely worrisome when gestational diabetes unexpectedly becomes a serious issue. Fortunately, gestational diabetes can be controlled through medication and a proper diet. However, unrecognized gestational diabetes greatly increases the risk of birth defects and health problems affecting a child.

It's possible for prenatal healthcare providers to screen for gestational diabetes, so there's no excuse for it to go unrecognized. As such, when a child's well-being is affected by unrecognized gestational diabetes, our Connecticut attorneys at the Law Offices of Paul Levin believe that the doctor responsible for this oversight should be held accountable through a medical malpractice claim.

Consequences of Unrecognized Gestational Diabetes

A woman's hormones change during pregnancy, which can affect the ability to tolerate glucose and allows for the development of gestational diabetes. Unrecognized gestational diabetes can have many consequences including:

  • Excessive birth weight
  • Early birth
  • Respiratory distress syndrome
  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
  • Jaundice
  • Developing type 2 diabetes later in life

Prenatal care providers are supposed to monitor a pregnant woman's changing health and hormones to make sure that these changes don't have dangerous consequences for either her or her baby.
