Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Your fasting and post glucose blood sugar levels are high and you have thus got gestational diabetes mellitus.
You should follow diabetic diet for one week followed by repeat blood sugar levels.
If controlled, then you should continue taking diabetic diet.
However, if not controlled, then you have to start insulin to control your blood sugar levels.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
