Dear lybrateuser, - If your blood sugar level is under control then there are not any effects on the child but if the level is high then the baby can be overweight & can cause problem during delivery, also can have jaundice or diabetes - the solution is to keep your blood sugar under control by diet, exercise & medication.

There is a possibility that your child might develop diabetes in future. However, from early childhood you can inculcate good habit like eating on time avoiding junk food, sparing sugar from daily diet and regular exercise
