Pregnancy related query
Hi doctor,
I am currently twenty weeks pregnant. My age is 31. I was having pre-existing diabetic complaint before pregnancy. I was prescribed to take insulin and diabetic medication before and after breakfast and dinner. I am keeping a track of sugar level every two weeks. What can be the alarming sugar level which will harm the baby? If I notice any higher value, at what level do I need to connect with my doctor immediately apart from the regular checkups?
