Avatar n tn Hello, Im am 17 weeks pregnant and went in today to have the 3 hour glucose test performed. I had Gestational Diabetes in my second pregnancy, but it skipped my third pregnancy. This is my fourth. After the test I did not eat or drink anything for about 1/2 an hour, because we were picking up my son from school and getting lunch. Within 20 minutes of finishing the test, I got really shaky and sweating (Its in the 20's today) while waiting in line for my food.

6918915 tn?1395932871 It could be gestional diabetes. I'm hypoglycemic and I have gestional diabetes. Normally, when I feel like that is because my blood pressure is high.
10161345 tn?1488138652 I've had hypoglycemia most of my life and crohn's disease for all of it (though only diagnosed a few years ago), so I've always had to be kind of careful. I was wondering if anyone else had experience with restrictive diets and hypoglycemia during pregnancy? At 27 weeks I'm struggling to keep my blood sugar up/stable between what foods are and aren't recommended during pregnancy combined with what my flare-prevention diet allows.
604185 tn?1233960857 I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and was on diet for a week. But the glucose level don't seem to fall in the normal range. So doctor put me on glyburide, that I have to start tonight. My concern is is that going cause any problem to my baby??? Has anyone used this medicine in pregnancy? Please advice.
1450627 tn?1296616593 s not that you are eating cr@p but they will teach you how to eat when you have gestational diabetes. You have to eat every few hours like clockwork and exercise helps too like yoga or going for walks. I'd say through the weekend try not to stress if it was something urgent they wouldn't just send you home. I'd try eating every few hours and lots of veggies, lean protein and such. Avoid sugar. I don't have diabetes so I don't know the specifics.
8526246 tn?1405601876 I have gestational diabetes and up until 3 weeks ago I was able to control my sugar levels with diet and exercise. I was diagnosed with gd at 28 weeks and I am almost 37 weeks. I am on medicine for it. I balled my eyes out because I feel like a failure. They reassured me that sometimes its the person not doing what they should, but in my case its different. I am being induced at 39 weeks. Im hoping I go into labor on my own. No c section unless my baby has a massive growth spurt.
Avatar f tn I failed my one hour (fasting) with my first pregnancy at 178, and also the one hour (fasting ) with this pregnancy at 162. Passed both 3 hour fasting test and I have hypoglycemia (opposite of diabetes) and every other female in my family are diabetes.
Avatar f tn I told him that I previously had gestational diabetes that once on diet alone caused my blood sugar levels to drop so low that the meter read in the 40's and sometimes just LOW. The nutritionsts then changed my diet so that it was double portion sizes and everything read perfectly. Due to this it was decided that I would take the medication only once per day instead of twice.
Avatar f tn I'm 11 wks 3 days... I have had every symptom of my sugar bottoming out, including passing out. Could this be my body's way of telling me I'm going to have gestational diabetes? My baby's dad is a borderline diabetic, it runs in his family, and hypoglycemia and diabetes runs in my side of the family... Help and advice please!!!
Avatar f tn Without proper testing results one assumption is you experienced reactive hypoglycemia. Reactive hypoglycemia [or alimentary hypoglycemia] is low glucose [blood sugar] that occurs after a meal — usually one to three hours after eating. Try the following: • Eat several small meals and snacks throughout the day, no more than three hours apart. • Eat a well-balanced diet including lean and nonmeat sources of protein and high-fiber foods including whole grains, fruit and vegetables.
Avatar m tn Sugar count would have to do with diabetes. You can develop gestational diabetes sometimes. Low blood sugar is known as hypoglycemia.
Avatar n tn -) I had gestational diabetes with my 3rd pregnancy, my 4thkids was fine and now hypoglycemia. I also have a big problem with blackouts and feeling dizzy.
6712392 tn?1393708678 s very important to follow your diet when your diabetic. Women who had gestational diabetes are also more likely to develop type 2 diabetes later in life, in which case you'll have no choice but to follow your diet.
Avatar f tn Gestational diabetes puts the infant at risk for a great deal of complicantions, ranging from hypoglycemia (very low sugar) to acute respiratory distress. Other complications include high birth weight requiring c section or risk to nerves inthe arm and shoulder during vaginal birth. If mom has it but she is able to keep her blood sugars in the normal range the babies risk drop down to average.
Avatar n tn I HAVE HAD HYPOGLYCEMIA FOR OVER 7 YEARS. CAN I TURN INTO A DIABETES. I HAVE BEEN GETTING SYSTMON OF DIABETES BUT MY GLUCOSA TEST COMES OUT LOW OF 62 FASTING IN THE MORNING .MY HANDS AND FEET FALL ASLEEP AT NIGHT. I HAVE TROUBLE WALKING MY LEGS HURT ESPECIAL IF I SIT FOR A WHILE.
885280 tn?1289562555 Hypoglycemia can lead to diabetes if not watched. I was told by my doctor that we are going to have to watch me for diabetes as I am hypoglycemic. Because there is a history of diabetes in my family.
Avatar f tn 56AM, Normal Treatment, in this forum. Lots of info there to help you. The neck thingy, I can't help you with but a doctor can. You may be experiencing some sort nerve reaction but only a thorough examination by a doctor can determine the cause.
