Hi there,
Gestational Diabetes is not necessarily permanent..If you have a strong family history of diabetes then it is a concern.
But still it is reversible.
In your case with this sugar level definitely lifestyle modification like regular walking and exercise, Diet control along with medicine for now will bring it normal..
And later you can stop medicine and see once the levels are normal.
But diet and exercise are a must.
