Even if you have kept your blood sugar in good control before you get pregnant, it can be harder to keep control during pregnancy. But it's important to do your best! The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) says you should try to keep your blood sugar above 70 mg/dL and below these levels:

- 1 hour after eating: 130 mg/dL or lower
- 2 hours after eating: 120 mg/dL or lower
