gestational diabetes
A 30-year-old G2P1 woman at 30-weeks gestation presents to the outpatient clinic for her routine antenatal visit. She has a history of gestational diabetes in her previous pregnancy and was diagnosed again in this pregnancy during her second trimester. Despite dietary counseling and insulin therapy, her recent blood glucose logs indicate persistent hyperglycemia. A follow-up fetal ultrasound, prompted by concerns over fetal growth, reveals significant findings including an asymmetric, enlarged interventricular septum measuring 7 mm, mild left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, and a mildly reduced fetal ejection fraction. The patient also reports increased thirst and occasional blurred vision. Given these findings, what is the most likely underlying fetal condition and the immediate diagnostic or therapeutic intervention warranted?
