Well I am really worried. I had GD when I was preg with my son and I know that from that I have an almost 50 % chance of developing type 2 within 9 years. My mom is a type 1 insulin dependent and my DH ( obviously no genetic link here) is type 1 juvenile onset and hes on a pump. So i know all about diabetes.
I thought I might be pregnant as I went through a period of peeing a lot at night and I am two weeks late but my HCG test came back 0.3. My husband asked me to measure my sugar the other night when I said I was thirsty again, I was 144, not a drastic high but again I dont think normal for someone without diabetes. Then yesterday I felt really weird, shaky legs and I hadn't felt that way since I was preg and had a low, my lows usually were at 70, and i measured with my moms meter and sure enough I was 70!
Today I took a fasting blood sugar it was 120 again not a great value for someone without diabetes.
Do you think I should ask my GP for a glucose tolerance test?
This is my DH's worst nightmare that I get diabetes.
Please can you girls tell me how it affects your pregnancies and how many kids you can have? Does it mean automatic c sections? My mom had to have with me and my brother but that was 20 years ago so ...
Thank you ..
