diabetes and pregnant
do any of you have full blown diabetes? I was diagnosed about 10 years ago not long after I had my daughter, I was borderline for gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with her. I am about 6 weeks now and was just wondering how expecting mommies that have the same issues are doing and how far along they are?
Was diagnosed at 13 also, I'm 19 now and 26 weeks. I was on metformin lantus and humalog then they took me off metformin and changed to levimer and humalog. My Dr made me a high risk patient so I get more visits. Its harder because I need to test more but its worth it.
My Dr is also very curious on my body and my baby though because once I begay second trimester insulin made my sugars spike (600+) and ice cream, cake, candy etc would make me low (75-90) so I haven't been able to take my insulin. He says its very rare but a possibility I could be considered borderline diabetic once the baby comes.
There are a lot of risks but its worth it long as you do what your supposed to

My situation is a little bit more complicated I was diagnosed at 13 with diabetes but I also have kidney failure and now I'm 29 and I'm 8 weeks I check my blood sugar 8 times a day and use a insulin pump it's very hard but I want to make sure my baby is healthy
YO ESPERO NUNCA MAS TENER ESO,
Yeah, I'm trying to get into the habit of testing more often. I'm not on the pump, but I am on 2 different insulins(lantus & apidra) and metformin. I'm just trying to take it one day at a time, we have been wanting another baby for about 9 years and pretty much figured it wasn't going to happen and then surprise!!!
Im 20 years old and a first time mom I was diagnosed at 9 I do my blood sugar 7 to 10 times a day and use a insulin pump im 15 weeks 2 days pregnant and to be honest its a struggle but will be worth taking extra care of my self to have a healthy baby
