I am currently taking Glycomet 500 mg in the morning and evening. My blood sugar readings are around 150 (fasting) and 190 to 200 (post meal). I underwent an IUI procedure 22 days ago and am now waiting to find out if I am pregnant. I am concerned about whether these sugar levels could affect the baby if the result is positive. Could you please advise me on what precautions I should take at this stage?

Mildly high sugars can be managed. If pregnancy occurs, your doctor may adjust your medicines and monitor more closely. Many women with controlled diabetes have healthy pregnancies. Focus on diet and take prescribed medications regularly
