Dear Madam,
Welcome to HCM,
yes it is definitely time you consult a Diabetologist for control of blood sugars. It is normally noticed that if a patient develops GDM in the first pregnancy she continues to do so in the subsequent deliveries. In the interest of the growing fetus it is necessary to control sugars.plesse meet a Diabetologist for initiation of treatment and also get a glucometer for home monitoring.
Hope I have answered your query
