Answer to Question 1

ANS:
130 to 140 mg/dL
Target levels of blood glucose during pregnancy are lower than nonpregnant values. Accepted fasting levels are between 65 and 95 mg/dL, and 1-hour postmeal levels should be less than 130 to 140 mg/dL. Two-hour postmeal levels should be 120 mg/dL or less.

They include those listed, as well as systemic sclerosis.
