I’m 7 and 1/2 months pregnant and my doctor told me I got diabetes from being pregnant. He told me to take down my blood sugar before and after I eat. I’m not sure what my blood sugar should be but I think they high. What are good numbers?

The recommended fasting (before your meal) blood sugar for pregnant diabetic patients should be between 60-90 mg/dL.  Post prandial (1-2 hours after your meal) blood sugars should be less than 120 mg/dL.  If your blood sugar log shows that you have consistently high glucose levels, your doctor may put you on a diet and recommend exercise.  If that does not control your blood sugar, your doctor may prescribe injectable insulin.
