What are normal glucose levels in pregnancy?
I'm in my second trimester and my doctor is checking my glucose levels regularly. Can someone tell me what are normal glucose levels during pregnancy? Just trying to understand the readings better.

Fasting needs to stay below 95, and 2-hour post-meal under 120. This is the standard medical guideline for gestational diabetes. Don't play around with guesswork; buy a reliable glucometer and track it.
I almost cried when my 1-hour post-lunch level was 145 during my second trimester. But my doctor reassured me that one odd spike is okay as long as fasting is under 95. Relax, eat healthy portions, and you will be completely fine.
Normally, fasting is below 95 mg/dL. Along with your regular medical tests, practicing gentle breathing exercises like pranayama helped me keep my stress and sugar levels wonderfully stable during my pregnancy days.
Actually, pregnancy sugar limits are super strict compared to normal times, yaar. Fasting has to be under 95. Don't worry, just have a chat with your gynaecologist to see if you need an OGTT test.
Please get tested regularly; fasting should be under 95. We ignored my wife's mild fatigue thinking it was normal pregnancy tiredness, but her sugars had shot up. Don't delay your sugar tests, catch it early.

Fasting below 95 is the sweet spot, pun intended! Don't let the charts scare you too much, just stay away from those late-night ice cream tubs for a bit. Your doctor has got this handled!
At the hospital where I delivered, they looked for fasting under 95 and post-prandial under 120. Every lab has slight variations in reference ranges. It is always safest to ask your doctor to explain your specific report.
