Please change doctor soon
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1. Unfortunately you are under wrong treatment.
2. With steroid injections like betnesol, the blood sugar rises. This is not right way to assess sugar control.
3. I dont think cesarean section is indicated.
4. Overall you are under wrong treatment. Please see a different doctor immediately and get blood sugar assessed by glucose tolerance test method.
Let me know if you have any more doubts.
