What Causes High Blood Sugar Levels During Pregnancy?
I am 32 weeks pregnant for the 2nd time. Even in the first pregnancy in the last stage I was detected with gestational diabetics. This time I am in complete diet avoiding all sweet items- eating whole grain foods, lentils etc and also doing exercising- walking for atleast half an hour after meals- taking 3 big & 3 small meals- still the ppbs reading is around 130-150. Why does it not come down? what are the effects it will have on the baby?

Gestational diabetes alone will not have any major effect as long as sugars r kept under control .
u need a fair control. ...better to meet an endocrinologist who may start u on low dose insulin if ur ppbs are consistently b/n 130-150mg%.
uncontrolled sugars may lead to a big baby, excess liquor, hypertension etc.
dont worry....speak to ur obgyn and endocrinologist
