Hi, thanks for writing..
It is important to keep the sugar level under control in pregnancy to prevent it from affecting the fetus.. 122 after 2 hrs post breakfast is fine.. Fasting blood sugar should be between 90-110 and postprandial should be between 120-140 is normal.. Take fasting and postprandial weekly to see whether you sugar level are under control.. If it is under control, you neednot take insulin.. Only close monitoring and monthly scan to see for fetal well being is required.. Hope I have answered your query.. Good day..
