GD insulin update...
So when I was having the stomach flu and couldn't keep anything down I wasn't taking my insulin. After tuesday I started eating again but couldn't get ahold of my diabetic dr until wed so I was told not to take it until I talked to them by the emer dr. Since my numbers aren't overly high, just borderline so the insulin is just a procaution on my drs part...
So I stopped taking my overnight insulin but kept eating my snack just in case... my numbers are lower now off insulin then they where on insulin. Plus my breakfast numbers are doing alright too without insulin. It's crazy. I'm watching it closely but my diabetic dr thinks stress was causing my sugars to rise due to retail at xmas... So i'm off insulin until my numbers go up again... YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: GD insulin update...
That's great news! What a relief...I'm hoping that I get my gtt results today, and I am pretty sure it will come back that I have it...good to know that it is still pretty manageable.
Definately managable. I've had it with both... and I will probably be back on insulin but I'm happy that it's staying lower by itself for the time being.
If you do have it then go and get a diet plan and follow it. Also keep good track of your sugars. It's not your fault if your sugars are high if you are folloing your diet correctly. Sometimes the placenta just blocks our insulin production bo matter what we do. I felt like a failure when I was first put on insulin with my first pregnancy but I did a lot of reading and now I just know that I will do anything to keep my babies safe.
Good luck and you can always ask me anything if you need to. This is my second time around with it
