A member asked:

My random blood sugar test result is 120mg/dl in 19 weeks of pregnancy is this too high? do i have gestational diabetes how can i control my sugar

A doctor has provided 1 answer

That's fine: Hi. For a random sugar, that's fine. Random sugar is not very sensitive. Fasting, and post-challenge are better diagnostic tests for gestational diabetes. Eat healthily and exercise regularly. Get an appropriate test for gestational diabetes done. Good luck!
