Hi dr I am 32 Years And now 5 week pregnant also. Weight Journey: Reduced from 66.5 kg to 57.5 kg in 3 months (Jan to March). Medical History: HbA1c in December: 7.0% (Fasting sugar was between 98–116 mg/dL)post meal always below 120 in glucometr.Recent HbA1c (March 22): 5.6% (Achieved through only diet and exercise). Current Diet Plan: Lunch: 4 tablespoons of Rice + High Protein (Fish/Egg/Pulses) + Salad. Breakfast & Dinner: 1 or 2 small portions of Wheat or Ragi. Frequency: Eating small portions every 2–3 hours. Since April, my home glucometer shows readings below 100 mg/dL (Fasting: 91–97, Post-meal: 89-95). In January, these were consistently between 110–120 mg/dL. Is it possible my glucometer is faulty, or is this drop normal due to my weight loss and early pregnancy? current and same diet sufficient for the baby's development?which test should i perform to get my actual glucose level at this stage ogtt or norml blood test??
