What Are The Symptoms Of Pre-diabetic During Pregnancy?

I had a glucose tolerance test done and after one hour my glucose level was 165, after 2 it was 141 and after 3 it was 117. I am 30 weeks pregnant and my doc says I am fine but everything I am reading says this is a pre-diabetic state. Is this information correct, that I am pre-diabetic?

Hello,

I appreciate your concern and have therefore copied from the site of U.S. National Institute of Health below
Abnormal blood values for a 3-hour 100-gram oral glucose tolerance test are:

Fasting: greater than 95 mg/dL
1 hour: greater than 180 mg/dL
2 hour: greater than 155 mg/dL
3 hour: greater than 140 mg/dL

But it is better for you to take care of your weight and life style if there is a family history of diabetes.
Have a happy and healthy pregnancy and if you require my advice in the future, it will be a pleasure.
