Diabetes Talking

Question:

Erika, I am so sorry for your loss.  As I have never been pregnant, I cannot imagine your pain.  I agree with RK and Alice that with everything your body has been through and the pain with which you are dealing, now is not the time to determine if you are diabetic.  Let’s hope that you are not T1 or T2. Take care. Steph

It turned out that I wasn’t 18 weeks pregnant cause the baby had been dead for a few weeks. Anyway to the point, when I came out of the anasthetic on saturday I had been fasting for about 12 hours (and been very very very stressed) and my BG was then 8.2. I have been to depressed to even locate my BG monitoring kit until tonight. I then tested my self after a meal of spag-bol (not to the right proprotions but not completely off the wall either) and my BG was then 6.2 1h 45 minutes after the meal. I don’t know what to make of this but I realize I have to keep testing. Motivation is at it’s very lowest now though so it is difficult.  I guess I do have typ 2 and not just gestational diabetes. /Erika The first ten years of your life you try to be just like your parents. Then for then years you try to be as little as your parents as possible. Then you gradually change in to them.

I am very sorry to hear that.  My friend went through something similar, but much closer to her due date.  I know how upset you must be. — Type 2 http://users.bestweb.net/~jbove/

Sorry for your loss. been there myself. Anyway to the point, when I came out of the anasthetic on saturday I had been fasting for about 12 hours (and been very very very stressed) and my BG was then 8.2.

stress will make any diabetic or non-diabetic have a rise. I have been to depressed to even locate my BG monitoring kit until tonight.

6.2 is well within non-diabetic range. thats a 111. I don’t know what to make of this but I realize I have to keep testing. Motivation is at it’s very lowest now though so it is difficult.  I guess I do have typ 2 and not just gestational diabetes.

I agree with Alice, I’d let thinks settle a bit before worrying if you are a T2 or not, more times then not the GD goes away after pregnancy. Nothing you’ve stated indicates it is still there. Also best to let a doc determine if you are or aren’t. imho… if you can not get diagnosed you’re better off for it you realize., once you are.. you’re SOL for life insurance and often health insurance if you aren’t working and on a group plan. — RK – t1 In tribute to the United States of America and the State of Israel, two bastions of strength in a world filled with strife and terrorism. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – /Erika The first ten years of your life you try to be just like your parents.
