Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Not to worry. Occasional high level must be wrong reading.
2. Repeat again, and continue with your diet. Diet is important to control sugar and if it is not under control, medications will be necessary.
3. Control of diabetes is very necessary to prevent pregnancy complications. If sugar level shoots too high, delivery needs to done earlier than expected.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
