Hello, as you've already noticed, body weight plays a very important role in blood glucose regulation. If you're overweight then loosing some Kilograms would help you reduce mean glucose values. Physical activity is a big part of diabetes treatment. It is as effective as a pill. You need to exercise daily for at least 30 minutes. You don't have to do intense exercise. Even walking a little faster than usual helps. Diet is very important as well. Avoiding food with high glycemic index and fat will help you achieve better glucose results. If you can't keep the blood sugar down to normal while being pregnant, you should receive treatment to avoid complications to the fetus. The most difficult time period comes after the 20th-24th week of pregnancy. Hormonal reasons make blood sugar regulation after that period more difficult than usual. I hope I've helped! If you'd like further information, please contact me again. Kind Regards!
