Hi sumjoni and welcome to the forum.
As your wife already has Type 2 then it might be better for her to be set target levels with a Health Care Professional who knows her history. Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that affects a woman when she is pregnant.
The levels for someone with Gestational Diabetes are a fasting level between 3.5 and 5.9 and 7.8 one hour after a meal.

The normal low in healthy adults is around 64.8 mg/dL. Therefore your level of 67 and 76 mg/dl is not low. The postprandial (after lunch) level seems a little high but if it occurs only once or for a short period of time there is very little to worry about. Talk with your Dr. If he is worried he may order the GTT to evaluate if you truly have gestational diabetes.
