Hello doc, i am GDM in 37th week twin pregnancy, on insulin 3 times a day, sugar is under control, from past 15 days my fasting sugar is coming low 72-79, before it was 85-100, but day time sugar is normal, 125-145 : 1 hr after BF/lunch / dinner. Is this ok?

hi,72-79 fbs is not very low but if you feel symptoms like giddiness you can reduce your night dose of insulin by 2 units otherwise this sugar level will not have any adverse effect on the baby.take care all the best.keep some high sugar foods handy if you feel giddy or ur sugar is less than 70 u must take the above said food items.
