Fasting sugar level 118

Hi Doctor I recently did my annual health checkup. All other reports came normal including BP and Cholesterol but the fasting sugar level was 118. I had gestational diabetes in 2018 but immediately after delivery sugar levels became normal. Should I worry? Height - 160 cms Weight - 67 Kgs

Hi I can understand your concern No need to worry it is only slight increase in blood sugar All most many GDM patient can become full blown type two diabetic patient – it can be prevented by doing regular walking and exercise Need not worry about the report which you have now plan for regular working and exercise and recheck the sugar value after one month
