welcome
dont worry

diabetes control is must during whole pregnancy for health baby...

pregnancy itself increases the risk of diABETES...

IF ONLY BY DIET YOUR SUGAR IS CONTROLLED, THAN ITS GOOD..
BUT IF ITS NOT CONTROLLED, THEN YOU HAVE TO START INSULIN...FOR THAT REPEATED TESTING IS NECESSARY TO KNOW ADEQUATE CONTROL OF YOUR DIABETES...
THANKS
