Hi, My wife is 32 weeks pregnant and recently she did test for fasting and non fasting sugar. Her fasting sugar is 88 mg/dl and non fasting after taking 75 gm of glucose 2 hrs before the sample collection is 143 mg/dl. We are concerned whether this number is too high? Will this affect the baby? Should she take some medicine or control diet and do exercise? Doctor has given her tablet but I don't want her to take any tablets. Doctor has prescribed her glyciphage 500. So we want to know whether through diet control and exercise she should try to maintain it, is this okay or she should take the tablet. Her weight current weight is 69 kg and baby's weight is 1367 g. She is approx. 5 feet tall.

Gestational diabetes is only when fasting above 90 mg/ dl post 126 mg/ dl above wait do not start tablet since her PP only high RECHECK FASTING / PP SUGAR DO TEST AGAIN 2 TIME CHECK HBA1C URINE SUGAR RFT LFT show obstretic & endocrionologist & diabetiologist consult all then only start medicine if 32 week 1702 gm is correct weight for baby so wait take proper advice from all specialist Your baby's growth will be checked during the following scans in your pregnancy: Dating and viability scan. This usually happens between six and nine weeks of pregnancy, ultrasound doctor will measure your baby from her head to bum. This is called the crown-rump length (CRL), and it will be used to work out your due date. Anomaly scan (ultrasound level II). This scan between 18 and 20 weeks. Ultrasound will check your baby's head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC) and thigh bone (femur) length (FL). In the third trimester growth scan or fetal wellbeing scan between 28 and 32 weeks. Colour doppler studies between 36 and 40 weeks. These scans will show how your baby is growing.
