Hi,
I was diagnosed with diabetes at 12 weeks of pregnancy, my blood sugar at diagnoses was 19.1 after high sugar drink and high carb meal. My hba1c is around 40-41.
Endocrinologist put me on 2 units rapid action before meals and 3 units basal before bed. I’ve tested positive for some type 1 antibodies but have been told a c peptide test may not provide accurate due to me being 15 weeks pregnant when offered. I’m having a lot of hypos in the night and run low during the day unless I consume bread and sweets/sugary foods.
I’m absolutely baffled on if it’s gestational or if it is type 1. My BMI is 18.1, mother who is recently diagnosed type 2 and no history other than that of diabetes in the family.
Does anyone have any insight??
