Do i need to take insulin

2020-06-04 10:15:43
I am 23 weeks pregnant now and had a one hour glucose test result as 152. Since last 3 weeks i am doing home glucose test. My fasting sugar is always below 90 and after meal glucose is mostly below 130 but 2-3 times it went till 136-140. Do I still need to take insulin or can this be controlled with diet changes?

As per your glucose values you need not to start insulin now. But lifestyle modifications, dietary and exercise management is must. Monitor your capillary blood glucose - different points in a day. Try to have fasting sugar value below or at 90 mg/dl and 2hour post meal value below or at 120 mg/dl. Consult a diabetes specialist.
