| My BG goals are: fasting 90-120, one hour post under 140. My HA1C goal is 5.0 or less. You should check with your doctor for goals. Its probably a little different for GD.
Hang in there, you can come up to speed with this stuff really fast. Don't beat yourself up over the occasional high number. No one gets it right everytime and in the beginning it can be confusing.
As far as defects are concerned, you might ask for a level 2 sonogram for your peace of mind. Don't not to worry too much...its not good for you or the baby. People with diabetes have healthy babies evey day! |
