This is my 4th pregnancy, with the 3 previous I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes later on This time I started out as a type 2 diabetic instead. Diagnosed a little over a year ago.
I had to stop my medication that I was on that was controlling my sugars well and it’s been a bit of a challenge trying to get back into the groove of things, especially knowing I’ll be doing this 30+ weeks. I’m almost 8 weeks and already want to cry.
Overall I think I’ve controlled most of my meals, fasting is giving me trouble and I’m already on metformin to try and lower it. I spiked over 200 tonight because I had a fairly heavy carb dinner and had a donut after with my kids 🥲
It’s going to make it through, but it’ll be a lot of gritting my teeth through it the next 7 months.
