I have been on oral medications for my diabetes for about 2yrs and all has worked well. A1c is steady at 7
Recently found out I am pregnant, so stoped with the pills and was put in insulin (2 kinds) My hcg (pregnancy hormone) is rising About 200 points (or whatever they go by) Every 2 days or so, but not doubling like it “should be” I have read a couple of studies that said diabetics can show low hcg levels compared to average. Has anyone experienced that? I think I am about 5 or 6 weeks along waiting for an ultrasound to be scheduled. I have had one pregnancy loss in the past, I didn’t know I was pregnant until I had the loss. So I’m a little worried and have been watching my numbers closely.

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant roughly 5-6 weeks. I’m type 2 and take metformin, 24 hour insulin and my meal insulin. I’ve had 2 miscarriages and my daughter was born at 28 weeks stillborn. This was 8 years ago and we have struggled to conceive since but out the blue I’m pregnant. I’ve not had my hb1ac checked since before the start of the pandemic of covid-19 so I’m extremely anxious with what’s going on with my diabetes. I’ve been on insulin since 2009 since my first pregnancy which ended in a miscarriage.I’ve never heard of diabetes effecting the hcg levels but I will ask when I speak to my midwife. How is your diabetes since you have been pregnant?
