Hi Roopa,
You are doing great as regards your gestational diabetes control. Happy to know about your normal level of HBA1C. One or two spikes in sugar level can be controlled too. Just keep a chart of what you are eating and find out when the spikes occur. Just by redistributing what you eat to other timings it can be controlled. If you have problem with it, consult dietician.
As you progress in pregnancy, insulin requirements increase. So the dose needs to be adjusted by your doctor.
Your thyroid functions too are normal. Continue with the same dose of thyronorm. Repeat thyroid tests in every trimester. During pregnancy the TSH level should not be more than 2.5.
I hope this helps.
