I’m now in the (approximately) 20th week of pregnancy and have several questions about glucose control.

I have gestational diabetes and am currently battling asthmatic bronchitis. My blood glucose is quite a bit higher than it has been before I became ill. I’ve noticed these blood glucose spikes after every meal, and even a higher fasting blood glucose level. Any ideas why this would be so?
