Blood sugar of 160 during any trimester of pregnancy is abnormal . You should do an OGTT 0hr, 1hr and 2 hrs with 75 grams of glucose along with HbA1c . If your OGTT is 0hr 92 or more , 1 hr 180 or more or 2 hr 153 or more . If any one of the reading is abnormal then you have gestational diabetes ( GDM ) .
Next Steps
The treatment depends on the level of abnormal sugars . Though Medical nutrition therapy ( MNT ) Is the first line of management . Insulin is the safest drug to control sugars during pregnancy.
