Dear madam i can understand your concern.
The problem you are suffering is called as gestational diabetes
The medicines what your are taking are good.
I Would like to know about your sugar levels before food and 2 hrs after food as Hba1c is not a is not a reliable indicator in pregnancy.
The uncontrolled blood sugar will increase your baby's weight more than normal and make it difficulty in case of delivery.
kindly let me know your sugars before food and 2 hrs after food to guide you for further course of action,don't worry i am having many pts who got diabetes in pregnancy.All of them are having kids with normal health.
I suppose I have given the desired response if you have any other query please write back.
Otherwise please accept & rate my answer. I will appreciate your review about my answer.
Best Regards.
