Gb anyone have it?

My nurses and doctors at the diabetes clinic have put me on a shot at bedtime.  It worked my sugars this morning were under 5.3! I was all scared about giving myself insulin. I am 18w+6d. Which means I got along was to go. But after all the explanations I am happy to do it for my baby boy.

U get used to the pinching mama, I'm 31 weeks and being doing the insulin since I was 13 weeks, because of my last pregnancy, last year, I was diabetic but didn't have time to do insulin

I'm in a similar situation. Wss tested early because of family history and have to do a night time insulin shot. I was so scared at first but i hardly even feel it and it works amazingly! I am 21 weeks now and my numbers have stayed great. There is a lot of extra testing i have to do, like a fetal echo and stress tests further in, but my insurance is good so i don't mind the extras to make sure baby is healty :) My doc also said that as long as sugars stay controlled, there is no additional risk of birth complications, which is a huge relief!
