Frequent blood sugar monitoring - perhaps up to seven or more times a day - can help you prevent low blood sugar and high blood sugar (hyperglycemia).

Frequent blood sugar monitoring — perhaps up to eight times a day — can help you prevent low blood sugar and high blood sugar (hyperglycemia).

The presence of fasting hyperglycemia (>105 mg/dl or >5.8 mmol/l) may be associated with an increase in the risk of intrauterine fetal death during the last 4 to 8 weeks of gestation.

The following are the most common symptoms of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:

starts when your body is not able to make and use all the insulin it needs for pregnancy. Without enough insulin, glucose cannot leave the blood and be changed to energy. Glucose builds up in the blood to high levels. This is called hyperglycemia.

Insulin enables the glucose to leave the blood and change to energy. When the glucose can not leave, it builds up in the blood. This leads to high levels of glucose in the blood and is known as hyperglycemia.
