Your blood sugar is slightly high, gestational diabetes. Currently, medication is not necessary, and you can wait and see by closely monitoring the situation. It is recommended to adjust your diet appropriately, especially by reducing the intake of sweet drinks and foods, and engaging in regular exercise. Monitor your blood sugar levels, including fasting blood sugar, post-meal blood sugar, and hemoglobin A1c. If your blood sugar remains unstable after dietary and exercise interventions, insulin treatment can be considered. Good blood sugar control is beneficial for both maternal and fetal health.
