I just joined and I live in the US.
I have a similar situation- had GD on my first child and now have it on my 2nd. I’m about 22 wks pregnant and was diagnosed early like around 12 weeks. I’ve been dieting n exercising and control it very well. My daytime eating sugar levels are pretty good and almost always under 120. My fasting ones are almost always over 100. Like between 102 n 110. The dietitian n endocrinologist recommended about 2 I guess shots of insulin at dinner but they told me it was up to me.
I’m extremely conservative when it comes to taking meds and don’t feel I need to .
On my first pregnancy it was detected way later n my morning sugars were higher than now n I never took meds or insulin and the dr kept pushing to take a pill but finally stopped bc she said my levels were very low risk.
So I get these mixed signals that I’m very low risk and my sugar levels are good. But then they recommend the insulin.
