Ur 2 hrs fasting ogtt suggests that u have GDM.
U need to be on 6 meals and off sugars and high carb high glycemic foods.
Self monitoring of sugar. Fasting 2 hrs post breakfast 2 hrs post lunch pre dinner and post dinner.
If the post meals are coming more than 150 we will need to adjust metformin dose and if with that also it's not controlled then we may need insulin
