Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
You must take your sugar control seriously. Be in touch with your doctor to adjust your insulin dose.
Women with GDM ( Gestational diabetes ) often need an early delivery to avoid risks to the baby. Exact time will depend upon the antenatal surveillance results.
Wish you best of luck.
Take care.
