No I don't. LOl however, I just felt it was a question that might need some answering.

Wish I could help you out, haven't been through it yet and I don't know that much about being diabetic and pregnant. I hope someone more knowledgeable on the subject can help you out.

 

Good luck and best wishes!

I developed gestational diabetes with my first son and was diagnosed with T1 8 months after he was born. He is now 13. I also have a 3 yr old. What specific questions do you have, since I went through both pregnancy with some time of diabetes, but went through them differently.

 

If you could give me any specific questions it would be easier to answer since it would be too lenghty to answer just generally.

Thanks Kim,

I was just wondering what they do differently for the pregnancy than a "normal" one. Do you go in more often for check ups, etc. Since you had gestational diabetes, did you have to use insulin? If I ever decide to have more children, I have to stop taking Actos and then possibly take insulin if the bg gets that high.
