Any other T2 mamas out there? There doesn’t seem to be a lot of info online as most gets jumbled in with gestational diabetes info. Would love to hear about your experiences - especially how you controlled fasting sugars and what your overall pregnancy was like. Did your baby cope well with high sugars at the star of pregnancy?
A bit about me - was diagnosed with T2 in jan ‘20 - had a hba1c of 72 at the time! It went down to 47 at conception (I’m 6 wks pregnant!). Have worked very hard to control my diabetes - the diabetic midwife seems really pleased with my efforts but levels are so tight at pregnancy. My average fasting levels are between 5.1 - 5.7 (on 4 units of insulatard) so still a little above the 5.3 and under target. Feeling really anxious and depleted over it! All my other post meal recordings are great. It’s been kind of hammered into me that my baby is at risk with these kinds of fasting numbers.
Any advice/reassurance greatly appreciated!!
