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
I need more details before I can answer your query more specifically. Did you have
diabetes prior to
pregnancy, or did it develop during the pregnancy? Are you on any medicine at all or just exercise and diet are helping you control the sugars? And the sugars you have mentioned, are they random, fasting or post prandial?
To answer your query, i am going to make assumptions that are usually the case in most queries we see.
Assumption 1:the sugars got raised during pregnancy.
Assumption 2: no medicines are being used
Assumption 3: fasting sugars were informed
the fact remains that the sugars rise constantly during pregnancy. the rise will usually halt and in most cases reverse after pregnancy has ended. The possibility that you can control the sugars further by diet needs to be tried and accordingly decided. Noone can suggest a treatment option based on just one reading of sugar. Overall, a larger range of sugar is needed before deciding what medicine needs to be given.
However, I would suggest not waiting too long simply because the raised sugars also affect the baby growing. so the sugars should be controlled as far as possible.
One need not be worried about using
insulin. there are too many myths about it. the fact is that it is the best medicine for sugars.
Check HbA1c
