your 1 hour and 2 hour values are higher than the cutoff (the 2 hour barely so). Your doc will probalby recommend diet and weekly checks of your blood sugar. while you are waiting to speak with your doc, try to eat healthy -- avoid refined sugars and alot of simple carbohydrates (like white bread and potatoes), cut down on fats and take a wlk every day. With the proper diet you and your baby should do fine
