I have been on it before and all thru my pregnancy for my diabetes. It wasn't enough alone for my sugar during pregnancy so I also needed insulin.

Has anyone dealt with low blood sugar during pregnancy? I took my 1 hr glucose test- I had black coffee prior to the drinking the glucose drink, then 1 hr of nothing and my blood draw. My level came back at 65. My midwiNenmade a passing comment about it bein low and watching for symptoms of lightheadedness but wasn't concerned. What were your numbers if you were deemed low blood sugar? Any other symptoms? Thanks!

I called my doctor today just to let them know about the dizzy spells and they checked my blood sugar, my blood pressure and my iron. All of them were within the normal range but my iron was right at the very bottom of the normal range. The dr told me that I am borderline anemic so I need to eat some sort of protein every 2 hours! I hope that works because I don't want to become anemic! Thank you all for your input, it was all very helpful!

ve always had that issue of low blood sugar but it actually got worse instead of fixing it self during pregnancy like usually happens. I get very dizzy, nauseated, shakey & my vision goes in & out if it drops.

He is an easy baby and works well with routine. I recently developed extreme fatigue during the day, much like my first 3 months of pregnancy. I was also previously dizzy at certain times of the day, but that seems to have subsided. There is no chance I am pregnant. I went to my ob/gyn, and she only tested for low iron and thyroid issues. Tests came back just fine - no issues there.

Should be 8 weeks but having a threathened Micarriage along with high blood sugar and high blood pressure and have read online that B-Vitamins, Vitamin E and Vitamin C can help lower blood pressure. My question is are the following safe to take every day or every other day during pregnancy: Vitamin C 500 mg Vitamin E 400 I.U.

t matter what I eat, 4, 3, even sometimes just 2 hours later, my blood sugar has been falling to symptomatic levels, even if the prior meal is solid with proteins, carbs, etc. Plus, if that isn't enough, for the same amount of time, even when my blood sugar registers as normal (I do have a home meter), I am constantly feeling sickly... hard to explain, but I seem to have ..

oh boy! I've only taken one so far in this pregnancy. It worked and I felt so much better. My blood pressure has been perfect in every pregnancy I've had, so I wouldn't want to screw that up now. sauerkraut juice? I've never heard of that before. Does it work and where do you get it from??

From what I've heard, if you have blood clots, especially in your legs, it is warm to the touch, not cold. Also, if you are concerned, you can always ask your doctor again and have another ultrasound. I have had anxiety since 2003 and get frequent panic attacks. I worried about EVERYTHING when I was pregnant. So, I understand how it is. Good luck and I hope everything is okay!

I have high blood pressure with th pregnancy it's my 4th. And my question is can having high bp cause seizure epiosde?

Yeah I am not sure. I stayed away from all sugar substitutes, however I have know people who drank a diet coke everyday when pregnant. So it is up to you! I am with mumita though...try to stay as natural as possible.

That is rare, for in most cases, the person feels crummy for a while, but the body eventually regulates the sugar levels. During a hypo episode (as a type 1 diabetic, of course I have occasionally overdosed by accident when my insulin didn't properly match the food carbs I ate), the eyes feel dry and vision CAN change temporarily.

His blood sugars are NOT fine. A fasting level of 121 mg/dl is prediabetes.

I found the forum a couple of months ago when searching if Copaxone increases blood sugars. The thread I found was from 2008. My sugars have been so under control and no AIC's over 5.4. I was off meds for a month after my the delivery of my daughter and was still so under control that my PCP decided not to refill my Rx. After 3 months of Copaxone my morning fasting sugar is still high anywhere from 120-150.

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.

How has her BP been during the pregnancy? Most women experience an INCREASE in BP as pregnancy progresses due to increase in blood volume.
