Have you seen a doctor? This is probably gestational diabetes so you probably have to be a bit clearer on whether you have seen a doctor or what.

Gestational diabetes?
I've had GD for each pregnancy.
I controlled with diet only. It was strict but I preferred that then being put on medication or insulin.
Happy to answer and specific questions

Low sugar levels are usually an indication you've had high blood sugar (spiked) and come crashing down to super low.
It is known to get harder to control and worse, the further you get along in pregnancy.

Yes I have this and it was worse with pregnancy. I had to eat something every 2hrs and carry sweets with me if needed. Protein foods helped and low GI foods. Also, extra activity meant extra food needed.
