What does a fasting sugar of 95 indicate?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am currently 29 weeks pregnant and recently underwent an OGTT. My blood sugar levels usually stay within the normal range with diet and exercise, but occasionally they rise above 170 mg per dL. I have attached my report. Could you please review it and let me know if I need to start medication?
