Hi,

Normally in some female during the gestational period, there is a raise blood sugar level. But as you said Dr is having doubts about it.

Normal fasting blood glucose must be between 70 to 110. In your case it is more than that at is a range which falls in diabetic range.

As you did not mention was it fasting sugar level or post-meal calibration.

If you had taken food it falls in normal range because thrush hold is 180.

So you may need either oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin for the gestation period to keep your blood sugar levels maintained, for the safety of you and your child.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Muzaffer Hussain Parray , Dentist
