MKSSS replied to AbbisMom's discussion 'Possible LADA dx after Gestational diabetes?'"Yes, my OB didn't even give me a choice with the oral meds. She wanted me on insulin asap. My blood sugar was very high though. I didn't know enough about diabetes to ask why. Wish I had."
"An interesting study on German patients with GD, now considered an older study (~1998 I think), found that almost 100% of women with GD who had to be treated with exogenous insulin during pregnancy then developed Type 1 diabetes post-pregnancy.…"
kimmiejo replied to AbbisMom's discussion 'Possible LADA dx after Gestational diabetes?'"I truly think it is one of those things where it may vary dr to dr...like I said I treated with a high risk/maternal fetal med provider. He never once mentioned insulin to me however my endo believes that all diabetic preggos should be started on…"
"That's interesting as I was led to believe that pregnant women typically aren't given insulin. My wife is looking at options as a pre diabetic and she really doesn't want to inject but she is also not crazy about taking the pills as…"
kimmiejo replied to AbbisMom's discussion 'Possible LADA dx after Gestational diabetes?'"I do not know what they were prior to pregnancy, I can tell you that my random glucoses drawn during early pregnancy as part of initial pregnancy bloodwork were always in the normal range. They would then send me for the 2hr glucose test and my…"
"Do you have any idea what you A1C ranges might have been before the first pregnancy? If you were on insulin prior to the pregnancies, how does your endo think this would have effected the progression?"
Holger Schmeken replied to AbbisMom's discussion 'Possible LADA dx after Gestational diabetes?'"The problem is to differentiate gestational diabetes (hormonally induced) from being pre-diabetic (T1 or T2). If you are indeed on your way to T1 (T1.5 is just a slower developing T1) then the pregnancy will reveal that. From an article I have read…"
kimmiejo replied to AbbisMom's discussion 'Possible LADA dx after Gestational diabetes?'"I was dx with gestational diabetes with both my pregnancies, I diet controlled both times but at the end I ended up on meds, With my son I was dx early at like 13ish weeks along...fast forward almsot exactly 2 yrs after the birth of my son and I had…"
MKSSS replied to AbbisMom's discussion 'Possible LADA dx after Gestational diabetes?'"Good luck with your trials! I hope that in the end everything has worked out. I wouldn't give up no matter what happens with your #'s (unless they magically get better!). It seems as if you are on top of things. Keep it up and keep…"
Zoe replied to AbbisMom's discussion 'Possible LADA dx after Gestational diabetes?'"No, 5.7 is the number some people use for "pre-diabetes". Diabetes is still considered to be 6.5 and over."
Linda G replied to AbbisMom's discussion 'Possible LADA dx after Gestational diabetes?'"Odd, that the terms will be phased out, as I believe that those terms have MORE a direct impact on people taking action than the wishy washy term "at risk"."
Zoe replied to AbbisMom's discussion 'Possible LADA dx after Gestational diabetes?'"Interesting. They are now calling it "at risk" which really does make sense, but they've raised the bottom of the category from 5.7 to 6.0; I wonder why. That means less people are looking at and watching their numbers, and making…"
