Answer

I was last week. I sat with a nurse for awhile for nutrition purposes. She’s said basically my body has issues regulating the insulin due to being pregnant. So I have to check my sugars 4 times a day and monitor what I eat.

Answer

I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago. I have checked my blood sugar 4 times a day and log everything I eat. I had my first follow up appointment today. They have remained pretty stable through diet except for in the afternoon. I will start on a low dose of Gliberide tomorrow.

Answer

As long as you can control it it shouldn’t be an issue! Just have to keep track of your carb intake and probably track your sugars but if baby is measuring on track and the placenta is healthy you should be ok! Will just have to monitor your diet a little more for the rest of pregnancy.
