A. Hi Dr Sheetal, I am not taking any medications for sugar as of now. I was just curious to know if postprandial 117 is normal or if any doctor would recommend insulin shots/medications for this sugar level. Can it be maintained with proper non sugary diet till delivery ?

A. Hi mom. Take insulin shots as recommended by ur doctor as they know ur position well as what is required and what not. Insulin will eventually correct the vitals. Avoid sugary, junk, oily, trasnfat food. Take care
