blood-sugar

Avatar f tn low blood sugar is not the same as gestational diabetes. however even with gestational diabetes you can have low blood sugar.
Avatar f tn However, your doctor may feel that insulin is the best and safest way to keep your blood sugar under control. It is important to remember that gestational diabetes is a condition that will last for the duration of your pregnancy. It is unlikely that you would continue to have diabetes after you have your baby. Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy.
Avatar n tn Hi, 223 is too high (is that blood sugar or blood pressure)? In either case it's too high. Most likley you have gestational diabetes with these numbers. Low carb eating and careful portion control will help with your blood sugar management. Worst case you will need to take medications / insulin. Please don't eat sugars now. Work with your doctor. Good blood sugar control is important for healthy pregnancy.
233552 tn?1228319699 I went to the doc today and he gave me my results....my blood sugar is 217. I knew that this would happen again but I wanted it to wait another month or two. My doc is going to put me on a diet after this weekend. I told him that you can't put a pregnant woman on a diet and he laughed right along with me. Then he said oh yes I can. Silly doctors. Baby's heartbeat still in the 160's and get U/S next month to find out what I'm having and I can't wait.
325405 tn?1262290178 I had gestational diabetes several years ago (gestational diabetes was covered 100% for supplies and visits), so I am aware of how to do all the blood testing and have been doign fine about that. I also know that gestational diabetes is more strict with blood sugar levels than regular type II diabetes. Now that I have type II, what are the ranges to aim for for blood sugar levels for fasting and then for 2 hours after a meal?
2186195 tn?1339430622 So i found out about a week and a half ago I have gestational diabetes. I saw the nutritionist and she gave me a diet to follow. she gave me ideas on what foods to eat, but basically said I can eat anything just watch the carbs. I am supposed to eat 30carbs for breakfast, 60carbs for lunch and dinner, and 3 snacks that are 30carbs each. I am to check my blood sugar 4 times a day, and it should stay between 60-90 in the morning and 90-120 all day.
Avatar f tn High blood pressure, preeclampsia and eclampsia. Gestational diabetes increases your risk of developing high blood pressure during your pregnancy. It also raises your risk of preeclampsia and eclampsia — two serious complications of pregnancy that cause high blood pressure and other symptoms that can threaten the lives of both mother and baby. Future diabetes. If you have gestational diabetes, it's more likely to happen again during a future pregnancy.
Avatar f tn I would be worried that it could be gestational diabetes with sugar in your urine. Have you had your 1 hr GTT? Glucose test? Gestational diabetes doesn't happen with every pregnancy and usually goes away after pregnancy but if you do have it you will need to change your diet. Best of luck to you and your baby!
Avatar f tn I have gestational diabetes and I just have check my blood sugar every 2 hours and eat six small meals a day .
4658567 tn?1364142123 Anyone have gestational diabetes? Do you take insulin? Were you induced or will you be? I've been poking my finger least 6 times a day. I have pretty much changed my diet, and count carbs but my blood sugar is still usually high.. Thinking I'm gunna be doing insulin :'( really don't like needles and don't know how I'm gunna be able to give it to myself!!!
8266573 tn?1403137275 s weird never felt that and I had just eaten 2 hours ago... so I went to my neighbors who has had gestational diabetes to check my sugar and it was 172 I know that's not normal but could I be developing it now and not 4 weeks ago I don't get it.. Has this happen to anyone?
Avatar n tn I have gestational diabetes for my second pregnancy. I am 37 weeks now. I was not able to control my sugar with my diet, until I started drinking apple cider vinegar with mother. I drink it throughout the day and I have been able to keep my sugar below 95 for fasting and below 110 2 hours after meals. I was prescribed medication for it, but read that it could affect the baby... So now I am doing it naturally, and very relieved.
Avatar n tn Sooo apparently I failed my 3 hour fasting test for gestational diabetes. However I have been checking my blood sugar for the past couple days twice a day and my sugar has not been high at all. Pretty good actually. I eat the right things and exercise and I hardly touch things that's really high in sugar. I wonder if this is just a glitch ? They want me to take this class and buy this glucometer and test strips thats over 100 dollars but I honestly dnt think I need them.
Avatar n tn In general, if your blood sugar level is below 100 mg / dL after fasting for at least 8 to 10 hours, then your blood sugar is normal. Blood sugar levels are usually lowest before each meal.
Avatar f tn Babies born to mothers with poorly controlled diabetes are also at higher risk for low blood sugar , jaundice, polycythemia ( high numbers of red blood cells) , low calcium levels, and an increased risk for fetal death during the last months of pregnancy. Lastly uncontrolled diabetes places the mother at risk for developing polyhydramnios (excessive amniotic fluid) and pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure with protein in the urine).
Avatar f tn I am currently 18 weeks and I had my blood work done and my doctor told me my blood sugar level was at 169 and that it was really high. I went back in yesterday and did some more blood work to check if its still the same and I won't hear my results until this coming Thursday. I'm really scared & nervous that I can have gestational diabetes. This is my first pregnancy and I'm only 21 years old. Has anyone had gestational diabetes during pregnancy?
1285850 tn?1291776435 Every baby has the possibility of getting any problem related to gestational diabetes though. It's not your fault! When were getting bigger we don't have much stomach room which causes our body to not have a lot of room to break down our sugars which can cause high sugar levels in any pregnant woman. Even if you have gestational diabetes then don't worry because many people have had healthy babies with it!
Avatar f tn However, in future you should have regular check of blood sugar (maybe 1/6 months), as women who have gestational diabetes have a much higher risk of developing diabetes later.
Avatar f tn You need to get a diabetes kit, take your blood sugar 2 times a day 2hrs after dinner (number should b below120)and first thing in the morning (should be below 90) stay away from fruit juices and things with high sugar.
11195379 tn?1427921527 I agree. I would do the test again.
Avatar f tn I found out I have very high sugar levels at 32 weeks. I have been keeping track, watching my diet and have recently started taking insulin shots but still seem to be getting high numbers:(....I spoke to my diabetes specialits and she says its expected and we may increase the insulin units (earlier they were increased from 4 to 6 units but still coming high). Has anyone else been taking insulin shots? any long term effects or dependencies on these for me or the baby?
Avatar f tn Nothing to be afraid of... they are just making sure you dont have gestational diabetes. If the level were high during the 1 hour, then they will send you back for the 3. Same thing happened to me...
Avatar f tn I am 23 and just got diagnosed with it. I've been testing for 2 days and mine is all good too. Its no big deal unless you're someone who's sugar spikes high it can cause a big baby and for you to be more likely to get real diabetes later in life. Just keep it in check.
Avatar f tn I had blood work Done and my doctor said my blood sugar levels were high I had to do a one hour glucose and my blood sugar levels were still high 164 to be exact. I was told that now I have to do a 3hr glucose. I'm only 5w3d has anyone out there been Thu this or is going thu this.
Avatar n tn High blood sugar ur going to have to check ur blood sugar 4 times a day and start eating healthy stuff nothing with sugar or to much sugar I have it too
Avatar f tn My 2 hour GTT came back abnormally high, so I did the 3 hour/4 blood tests GTT last week. My OB said my blood sugar is so high that I will more than likely need insulin. I'm going to see an Endocrynologist this Wednesday. I've been trying to follow a gestaional diabetes diet plan I found online, and since I have been limiting sugar and carbs for the past 6 days, I have lost 6 pounds. My total pregnancy weight gain is now only 11 pounds and I'm 30 weeks 3 days pregnant.
Avatar f tn here I was given a 75gm glucose drink and after 2 hrs of having the drink my blood was tested. Results were 196 which is pretty high. I was given 1 weeks tym to control blood sugar with diet...... I stopped eating high sugar fruits, pastries, ice creams, sweets, etc. I eat whole wheat along with proteins, milk, fruits like orange and other citrus fruits. No juices. Lots of vegetables. No potato, beetroots, carrots. I eat lil rice for lunch. I walk after every large meal for 20 mins.
Avatar n tn This is the third pregnancy with ges. Diabetes. I take regular insulin 3x a day and long lasting insulin in the morning and at night. Now I use levamir flex pin for long lasting. U can't skip meals either, that doesn't help at all.
