What are the optimal blood glucose levels for pregnant women with gestational diabetes?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Low!: Less than 95 fasting, and less than 120 2 hours after meals. (some are a little more liberal with fastings, allowing less than 105). Gestational diabetic are less likely to have problems with fasting sugars as they are with postprandial (after meals) sugars.
