Dear madam i can understand your concern.
I am very sorry about your condition.
during pregnancy and due to excessive stress there will be a short term raise of blood sugar.
This is called stress induced hyperglycemia.
Relax and there is nothing to worry.
i suggest you to monitor sugars 2 hrs after food twice daily and inform results to your doctor.
i am ready for further discussion
kindly write back for any further help
