I am 21 weeks pregnant and have gestational diabetes. I am on a GDM diet. The sugar level is always on the borderline or slightly increased every time I go for a blood test. At what blood sugar level medicine is started for GDM?

If your sugar is not controlled on diet, then medicine should be started. Its better to take medicine to control blood sugar than to have complications due to uncontrolled GDM.
