Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion your report suggests borderline GTT.
Your first hour value is more.
As per criteria it can be taken as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
But nothing to worry as the diet and exercise is sufficient.
It doesn't need any medication.
So relax.Don't worry.
Take dietician advise regarding the diet.
And do walking for an hour daily.
Nothing to worry as it doesn't affect the fetus.
Avoid stress.
Hope this helps.
Best regards... Dr.Srilatha
