Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

You were probably told you are developing Gestational Diabetes. It happens frequently in woman in pregnancy. Most of the times it gets ok after the pregnancy is over. But then there is always a risk of developing diabetes in a later part of the life.

You should meet a diabetologist because you see high sugars have negative effects on the child and the birth too. So sugars should be well controlled

Check FBS, PPBS, HbA1c

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
