29 weeks pregnant/sugar test
I am 29 weeks pregnant. I have low amniotic fluid index of 8 cm. Doctor advised to take IV fluids. Before that she checked my blood sugar level. She said I have little elevation in sugar level after food(Blood sugar fasting 83 mg/dl, blood sugar PP is 156 mg/dl and Urine sugar fasting and urine sugar PP is NIL). I had a confident i don't have sugar. So one and half hour after lunch I checked once again in the same day, my sugar level it is 103 mg/dl. My question is whether I have to take diabetic medicines before I take IV fluids ( my gynae said blood sugar will increase after glucose). Please give me suggestion. I attached both the reports.
