Hi, I understand your concern. Post meal blood sugar up to 140 is considered normal in pregnancydiabetes. You are controlling your diet & taking Insulin pricks twice a day... I would suggest following to regulate your sugar on your own. Add regular exercise to your routine ( yoga exercises, walking ) for half hour a day. Get an advise of dietitian for prpper calory intake. * Mostly you would see that excess 20 units of blood sugar would be controlled . If not consult your doctor for change in dosage of medicines. Thanks.
