I have had GD with both of my previous pregnancies. Last pregnancy it was particularly bad, with me needing in excess of 150u of insulin a day and needing weekly endocronologist appointments!!!
I am currently 6weeks pregnant with baby number 3. I spoke the the diabetic educator last week who advised me that due to the unstable nature of my diabeties last time, and the fact that I was on insulin from before 12 weeks that I should be getting the Dr to do a GTT test NOW!!! (I also never had a GTT after DS was born to check that my glucose levels had returned to normal post pregnancy).
The Educator also suggested that I start taking my sugars again now to keep an eye on it - I still have my glucose monitor, but I can't remember what times I am supposed to test - I know I used to take my insulin before meals, but do I test my sugars before or after??
