Today, I received my blood test report, and my fasting blood sugar level is 107. This is the first time my sugar level has been high; two months ago, it was only 80. I am 30 years old and have been using some hormone medications for infertility over the past two months. What tests should I get done now, and does this mean I am diabetic?

I had an anomaly scan at 19 weeks and 4 days of pregnancy, and the report shows: Left lateral ventricle: 0.54 cm, Right lateral ventricle: 0.62 cm. Is there any problem with the baby brain? Umbilical artery RI: 0.75 (appears to be increased) Uterine artery RI: 0.7, with evidence of a dicrotic notch in both arteries The rest of the report is normal. Could you please advise if there is any concern with these findings?
