Brief Answer:
endocrinologist opinion
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I understand your health concerns.
Your sugar levels are very high and won't be controlled by metformin alone.
You need insulin injections before meals to control the sugar levels.
Visit an endocrinologist at the earliest and get yourself worked up properly.
Don't take it lightly as it can cause sudden death of the baby in case sugar levels stay uncontrolled like this for long.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
all are normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi, keep taking it in prescribed doses.
Low sugar level is below 60 so nothing to worry.
Tomorrow do 2 hour post lunch and 2 hour post dinner.
Pre meal sugar levels have no significance in pregnancy.
Just do the levels tomorrow and then we can discuss the reports.
