diabetes in pregnancy medication

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.

My doctor confirmed that I have gestational diabetes. I am 29 weeks and very upset. I didn't have to go through this with my first pregnancy. Not sure what to expect. I have additional testing and office visits. Does anyone have any experience that they can share in what to expect for the remainder if the pregnancy?

My husband had a Tia Feb 2012 at 48yrs. He has been on the same medication since then. He has never been the same, he is always tired still have tingling and feels like spider webs are on his skin anyone else with this problems should he get a second opinion on so many medication that may be causing side effects? He is taking 7 meds.

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.

t go to the specialist to get medication to control. I had a shortening in my cervix so I ended up delivering my daughter a little early. She was 7lb 5.5 oz at 37 weeks.

Does anyone else have type 2 diabetes with pregnancy? I'm not eating a ton of carbs but my numbers are still on the high side.

This is my first pregnancy. I am on insulin right now. My baby is measuring in the average range right now. I just saw the perinatologist yesterday and had an ultrasound. She is weighing 2 lbs 5 oz right now. I also have high blood pressure (since before pregnancy also) and am on medication.

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. With my first I was on insulin, my second was just a modified diet, and with my third I'm on oral medication.

I found out today that I will be diabetic after I have my baby :( anyone else diabetic? If I diet and stuff and take my medication will my baby be okay.

I had GD in my last pregnancy and have it again with this one. Once you have it, the chances of getting it again in subsequent pregnancies is high as is your chance of developing Type II diabetes in the future (10-15 years). From what I"ve been told, so long as your blood sugars are well managed, the baby shouldn't grow too big. They do, however, like to induce you early just to make sure it's not too big in which case you'll need a c-section for the safety of the baby.

d rather hospitalized me up to 39 weeks to get sugars in control Rather then a possible baby in nicu for development problems.

I went to the My Dr. appt. Today And they Gave me my Glucose Tolarence Test Results, and it looks like I Have Gestational Diabetes (GD). It's Been Very Hard To Keep A Great Diet In This pregnancy. Does anyone else have GD and are having a Hard Time with this? I'm 27 weeks. With My last pregnancy I did so good didn't gain any weight, and with this pregnancy I've already gained almost 20lbs.

I was just told I have gestational diabetes this is my first pregnancy and I'm only 22 I'm just really freaking out and depressed over it. Does anybody else have it how are you dealing with having told you have it?

I had it with my first pregnancy and I have it this pregnancy too...I had to be induced my first pregnancy bc my son has a heart problem not bc he was too big...

All my results have been under 120 for the 1st week and now my Dr said I need to take 5mg of Glyburide daily. I read alot of negative things about Glyburide during pregnancy so I told my Dr I would not take it. Now she says I will need to be on Insulin. Does anyone know if Glyburide or Insulin are appropriate if your glucose results are all under 120? I thought medication for gestational diabetes should only be given if the results are very high but again I'm not sure.

Gestational Diabetes (or diabetes that is only present during pregnancy) usually stops after you have given birth. Your body will stop producing insulin due to the high amounts of estrogen to provide for the growing fetus enough nutrients for development.

t see the OB doc until I am further along in this pregnancy. Currently I am just about 6 weeks. I also take Advair diskus which is category C. In any event a couple years ago my OB said all asthma medications are fine to take during pregnancy. I told this to the PA and she did end up giving me a script. So I am taking Singulair and Advair and occassionally Proair. I realize there are risks with all medicines during pregnancy , but asthma is very common.

I have gestational diabetes and take medication for it and even watch what I eat. Any other moms going through this??

my mom has type 2 diabetes only and 1 yr is not her the age when she got diabetes i means its been one year since she got diabetes and is getting medication. I hope you understood. Thank you.

Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that comes on during a woman's pregnancy. You don't even need to have a family history of it. You can have it in one pregnancy and not another, although it's more common in subsequent pregnancies once you have had it. It goes away after pregnancy. What happens is your body slows down metabolism during pregnancy to ensure that your growing baby gets enough nutrients.

As far as I know all pregnant women are taken off their oral diabetes medication and put on insulin for the duration of the pregnancy.

He never said anything about medication at all though.
