Hello and welcome to HCM.
As a specialist, i can fully understand your concern.
Your blood sugar is definitely high. You should check HbA1C, with FBS.
You should avoid any kind of sweet foods, and sugar in tea/ coffee.,etc.
Hope you're exercising. Check your fasting blood for lipid profile as well.
At 34 weeks, your 3rd ante-natal scan should be done.
Repeat FBS, PP2BS, in a weeks time and treatment will depend on that .
If needed, Metformin is started in low doses. You may send the report to me, as a direct question, for an expert opinion. Wish you well.
