I had gestational diabetes and was taking insulin 4 times a day. after delivery, sugar levels came normal but since 4-5 days sugar range is high. today sugar reading was 125, 2 days back it was 114. 1) Have I become diabetic now? 2) Will this high sugar levels affect my newborn? 3) My baby is not taking proper sleep since 4 days now. He is waking up in every half hour with stretching noise. What should I do? I met Paediatrics doctor yesterday and he told everything is fine
