Diabetes in Pregnancy

AJ • SAHM of 2 (👦 4YO, 👧 5YO) Oh yeah, I have a husband too lol.

Hey y’all, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes this last year and have been taking metformin. Found out about little bean last week (estimating 4-5w) and my blood sugar was super crazy this last week week- thought maybe I overdid it in the carbs during Christmas but I’ve been eating fewer carbs than normal and they’re still pretty high. I upped my dose to 1500mg spread out morning noon and night and finally getting down to the 140s fasting again but seeing around 180-200 post prandial 60-90 mins after 25-30g carbs. I’m wondering if hormones are making them shoot up already? I’m sure there are some mamas here that have dealt with T2 and pregnancy- what was your experience? How did your providers help you manage your BG levels? Were you able to keep you numbers low with metformin or another drug or did you have to add insulin to your regimen? Just want to get opinions on what to expect. This is my third pregnancy and the only I’ve had diabetes with so this is a whole new ballgame for me!
