Should I worry if glycohemoglobin (HbA1C) is 6.7?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, my wife is pregnant and currently 17 weeks along. We had blood sugar and routine urine tests in March, September, and October. Blood sugar was in the normal range (76 to 77) and urine tests were normal. In November, sugar was 1+ in urine. I am worried as she has a family history of diabetes. What will be the medication during pregnancy? We are happy with our doctor as she said we need to closely track it. I am posting this for my clarification and satisfaction.
