  1. Blood Sugar Level Interpretation:

    • A blood sugar level of 150 mg/dL is higher than the normal fasting range.
    • Normal fasting levels are below 100 mg/dL; 100-125 mg/dL indicates prediabetes.
  2. Postprandial Consideration:

    • If the reading was post-meal, it might be less concerning but still requires attention.
    • Post-meal levels are typically under 140 mg/dL.
  3. Next Steps:

    • Discuss this result with your healthcare provider for evaluation.
    • Consider further testing if necessary.
  4. Symptoms to Watch:

    • Increased thirst, frequent urination, or unexplained weight loss should prompt medical advice.
  5. Lifestyle Recommendations:

    • Maintain a balanced diet and regular exercise for blood sugar control.

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and my blood sugar is 204 pp. I'm really worried about this. I'm on 8 units of insulin every day, but it seems like it's not enough. Can you suggest ways to better control my blood sugar? I'm also wondering if this could have any negative effect on my baby.

High blood sugar during this period can lead to macrosomic baby that can make the labour difficult. After birth baby is at risk of hypoglucemia, hyperbilirubinemia, thrombocytopenia etc. During this period you need to monitor your sugar levels 3-7 times per day and the insulin doses need to be modified to maintain fasting less than 90 and PP less than 120. Kindly get back with sugar chart and insulin dose details
