Gylcosylated haemoglobin is an indicator of sugar control over last 3 months. 5.7% suggests risk of diabetes. OGTT value (with 75gm glucose) should be less than 140. You report is 153 which indicates gestational diabetes (pregnancy induced). You should consult a dietician for your diabetic diet. Follow diabetic diet for 2 weeks and then Fasting and Post-prandial ( 2 hr after food) blood sugar test to be done to check your control of sugar with diabetic diet. Consult your obstetrician, she will guide you through this.
OGTT is a test in which you take 75 gm glucose and after 2 hr blood sample is take to check you blood glucose levels ( in that 2 hrs one should not eat or drink any thing, water is okay).
