On the subject in the title: Pregnancy as an absolute contraindication — the long version Working notes rather than a conclusion.

General question, not a request for advice about my own care — I know the difference and I would rather be told to see my prescriber than get an answer that pretends otherwise.

I have a panel in front of me with one value outside the reference interval and everything else within it. My instinct is that a single out-of-range result on a single draw is close to uninformative, and I would like to understand how the people who read these professionally think about that.

What I am actually asking is how to tell an interesting result from an uninteresting one before booking an appointment about it.

Coming back to the opening post, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

Concurrent insulin or sulfonylureas: not an absolute contraindication but requires dose adjustment and close monitoring for hypoglycemia. The combination is used with caution, not avoided.

Thank you for the correction. I have edited my earlier post with a note rather than silently, so the thread still makes sense to read. The error was mine and it was the kind that comes from remembering a figure instead of looking it up.
