| Return to normal after gestational diabetes
I wasn't sure after delivering my baby if my diabetes was going to go away. But surprisingly, right after delivery, my blood sugars are back in the acceptable range without any insulin. I had been taking 14 NPH am/10NPH pm with sliding scale humalog (~1unit for every 5 carbs). Seemed like a lot of insulin to me! But now I'm on NOTHING!
I actually think it's just in remission. After a high carb load (75 g of sugary stuff) my sugars may get up to 160's. Not good, but before, my sugars would have been sky high.
My question is... to other Moms who have gone thru this, have you taken orals? My doc wanted to prescribe Prandia for high carb meals. After lurking on this site, it seems I'd be better off just taking prn humalog instead?? What is your take on this? |
