Sample item

Why is gestational diabetes managed actively?

Original practice item, not a recalled exam question. Nothing here is recorded.

The answer and the reasoning

B. It increases maternal and fetal complication risk

Uncontrolled gestational diabetes increases risks including macrosomia, birth trauma, neonatal hypoglycaemia, and later maternal type 2 diabetes, so glucose management matters.

Option by option

  • A. It always resolves before birth

    It may improve after delivery but still requires management now.

  • B. It increases maternal and fetal complication risk (correct)

    Correct: glucose control reduces important pregnancy complications.

  • C. It causes appendicitis

    Appendicitis is unrelated to gestational diabetes.

  • D. It prevents fetal growth

    Diabetes can increase rather than prevent fetal growth.
