first of all i just want to know whether and from when you have been diagnosed as having diabetes.
2.whether the above results are fasting;postprandial;random.
3.ya increase in blood sugar levels is definitely a worrying sign as it can cause
1.macrosomia leading to various maternal(injury;shoulder dystociaA) and foetal comp.(hypoglycemia,injury, increased incidence of caesserean and instrumental deliveries etc.)
once you let me know the type of blood sugar sample i will be able to tell u the need of medication and further tests if needed to be performed(gtt).
meanwhile u go to ur doctor and check for foetal well being like foetal kick count ,usg,nst o doppler
