?diabetes: The numbers are a bit high. I would suggest doing a glucose tolerance test asap to ascertain whether you have developed gestational diabetes. Alternatively, you can do a virtual consultation with a Dr online, through the Discovery DrConnect app, where we can assess and refer you for testing.
Kind Regards
