Brief Answer:
You can wait

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about sugar.

Following is my reply:

1) Your sugar levels are not very high ( especially fasting) enough to fear or worry.

2) You can wait for normal delivery. No need to deliver now.

3) See a physician and start on insulin if needed.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya

Adjust insulin dose

Detailed Answer:
Hi

You can ask for revision of insulin dose to control blood sugar. Delivery so early is not necessary.
