Hi,
I understand your concern.
Post meal blood sugar up to 140 is considered normal in pregnancy diabetes. 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.
