t control with diet (low carb works best) and oral medication, and exercise, it will be recommended to use insulin. Insulin is a powerful and very useful medication for diabetics. It is not to be feared, but you will need to learn to use it safely.
Normal HBA1C is in the 4s or low 5s. 7.5 is well above normal.
Truely normal fasting (is in the 80s) and 2 hours after eating should have returned close to fasting level. Your numbers are very much above this.
I do not have any experience with Zyprexa. However if your doctor has prescibed this drug for anxiety then I think that it is safe for you assume that it used for anxiety. Does it not mention what the drug is used for on the directions/side affects? They wouldn't prescribe a drug that is of no use to you.
I was on a drug called Olanzapine and that had had some bad press about it possibly causing diabetes.
t enough, you will need to start a medication regimen - an oral medication will be the first step, with insulin injections used only if all previous interventions have failed.
If you don't pass your 3hr then the doc will decide the best course of action for you (based on how high your numbers were). Treatment of gestational diabetes can range from just a modified diet to oral medication to insulin; it varies depending upon the severity of the diabetes, access to medication depending upon where you live, the doc's preferences, and what the patient can tolerate.
I've had gestational diabetes with all three of my pregnancies.

You can keep it in remission with diet, exercise, a healthy dose of 12 step meetings, and medications. I often liken it to diabetes. Addiction like Diabetes is incurable, cravings will go up and down for the addict the same way blood sugars go up and down for the diabetic. We treat cravings with medication and we treat high blood sugar with medication.
I have a cousin whose blood sugar levels often rise over 300s. This has been over a couple of years now. I am really concerned about him but unfortunately he doesn't seem to really care about himself and believes that the oral medications he's taking is enough. He shows no symptoms of diabetes at all.
My questions are:
1. How come very high glucose levels cause no symptoms at all? (no frequent urination, thirst, blurred vision, etc)
2.
Hello,
with blood sugars that high, I hope you have been tested for type 1 diabetes. If oral meds do not bring your blood sugars down then you will need insulin. Insulin always works, but oral meds can only work if your pancreas is still working.
You are going to need to learn a lot about diabetes and it's management. low carb diet,, exercise, weight management will all go a long way to helping control sugars. oral meds and or insulin will likely also be required.
i am unfamiliar with all the different diabetes oral medication, being a type 1 diabetic. The blurry vision you are experiencing may be a side effect of the medication, most medications have side effects that affect some of the people who take it. You may want to contact your physician about this and see what he proposes to do. He could change your medication as there are many meds for type 2's.
LADA is often mistaken for type 2 diabetes, mainly in people who are overweight or obese. People with LADA can use oral medication, though within between 3-15 years after diabetes diagnosis, they will need to inject insulin.
I have never been on oral drugs for diabetes, so I can't really comment on this. However, I do know that I have had similar side effects from other drugs. He can look at the drug insert and see if this is one of the side effects. But even if it's not, it may be worth trying one of the other oral medications for diabetes. As always, have him talk to his doctor about this to rule out any other problems and to see waht else he may be able to try.
If it is confirmed that the mouth problem is oral Thrush, but not thrush in your genital area, you will be prescribed with medication to treat oral thrush. You can purchase this from the pharmacy and it is called Daktarin for oral use. Your doctor may prescribe Nystatin drops, but you cannot purchase these without a prescription.
So I am 32+4 and newly diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I have been super strict about the diet that they gave me but my numbers are still high. My doctor may want to put me on an oral medication. The problem is as soon as I start the medications I am considered "high risk". I can no longer see my midwife and usually there is pressure to induce or have a cesarean. I had natural unmedicated childbirth with DS and SO wanted that for my DD. I am losing hope for a normal birth.
Your father needs to work on this. Medication may be necessary. Is your dad type 1 diabetes (genetic and shows up earlier in life) or type 2 (lifestyle issues that shows up later in life)? We'll start there.
Request your doc for insulin if your blood sugar still though you have ate well and right. I'm diabetic patient and on insulin and oral medication. I'm 5weeks pregnant.
Hello,
The natural course of diabetes is to progress over time, s many people start out with one medication but then need more eventually as their own insulin production slows in Type 2 diabetes. Many folks are not able to stay on only one medication for a long time, so although you have done your very best in controlling diet etc, your situation is not very uncommon. It is good your doctor checked antibodies. Did you also check a C-peptide level?
