There is a higher chance of getting affected with diabetes later in life when you have Diabetes during your pregnancy. Since the sugar levels are not too high you can go on a trial of diet and lifestyle modification. Studies have shown that weight loss is associated with reversal of diabetes .
Next Steps
Consult your local endocrinologist so that he/she may examine you and suggest an appropriate dietary regimen
