Q. I had diabetes during pregnancy but levels were normal later. Why is it high again now?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is well known that diabetes during pregnancy is a forerunner for diabetes in later life. It is good that you checked your blood levels faithfully after your delivery and that is why you were able to identify the high levels. Having found out about these high levels, it is time for you to meet a physician or diabetologist to start treatment.

The target sugar level for fasting is 100 and for two hours after a meal is 140 mg/dL. Adhering to a strict diet and regular exercise may reverse diabetes completely in the early stages.

You have not mentioned your age or desire for future pregnancy. In either case, I can suggest accordingly.
