Hi , had to restart my account but I used to be newmama2be5 . I have a newly 4 year old son Aston who I developed gestational diabetes . He was born at 37 weeks naturally . Was 6 lbs 9 oz so no complications and no sugar issues at all thank God.
Was set up w dietician and had to take insulin shots once a day at bedtime ... Cause my fasting sugars were higher than they should be but not severe level ...
I didn't test yet but I'm highly sure I am pregnant for the second time . I am guessing I'll have GD again .... I check my sugars and fasting sugar has been 115 before and I know ideal is 99 or under. Through the rest of the day it's under 120 ... Or after food 120 ish or less . I worry so badly worry about harming the baby . I would be 3 weeks or so along and Im inbetween getting coverage to see a OBGYN. But till then what level should my sugar be fasting and regular where it's ok or not harmful ??? I'm in the US and don't know what people mean by their sugar was 8 for example in the uk I thunk ... Sorry I just was educated my first pregnancy w diet even if it's been over four years and I don't know what's good on diet ... I assume obviously no dessert and to exercise and eat healthy like w no high carb foods etc... I'm super worried anyone have any advice ???
