[|Human|] Hello, I m 27 weeks pregnant and just had my GD test. My results came back today and my fasting sugar level was 141. I m going in next week to take the 3 hour test, but I do have a sinking feeling that my sugar will, again, be high. My question is, is 141 considered very high for a fasting sugar level? Thank you, Sally
[|AI|]  Hi Sally, Pregnancy, especially the later months can make women who are prone to get diabetes in the future have high sugar levels. Yes, 141 is a high value, and you need to have a detailed sugar level done. Also, you need to take care of your diet and check your sugar levels before and after meals. You will need the guidance of a physician trained in endocrinology or an obstetrician with special interest in diabetes in pregnancy.Also, we need to monitor your baby, as in women with high sugar levels there are chances of baby putting on excess weight and also increased water around the baby, this may also need early delivery, and you may require insulin injection on a daily basis to keep the sugars in control. Best to see a physician soon. Hope this helps. Regards.
