Hi, I know there were discussions before but it would be nice to connect to the ones who are struggling with it right now.
My story: I have big son, who was born when I was very young without any problems
My DD is 2y5m now and with her I was diagnosed with GD at 33 weeks. The values at the beginning very wild but I learned to control them and didn't take medicine despite the doctors telling me to take them in the first week in clinic. The values were then quite good actually and they planned my induction for 39+ but DD came earlier by herself
Now I am 31 weeks and was monitoring sugars now and then since the beginning. GTT came normal at 26 weeks, but I still went to clinic since the values were a bit high. They immidiately wanted me to take metformin. But the values ARE better then last time and I am trying to control the diet. And the private obstetrician said the baby is normal size.
I am now having the scan on Monday and clinic appointment after that, where I am sure they will push me to start medication again.
The main concern is that my morning values are 5.4-6.5.
Post food they are not bad at all.
Long story...
Anyone in a similar situation
What are your hospital protocols for GD???
Any thoughts
