[QUOTE="PregnantKate, post: 30964, member: 12301"] Hi there, Im new to the site and ths is my first post, I have recently been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes. Diet control didnt work so Im on Oral medication (starts with a G) but its not agreeing with me. Today after breakfast my levels went to 11.6 then just under 3 hours later dropped to 2.5 I only found out because I started having what I now know was a "hypo". No-one had warned me about these. I just instictivly tested my sugars, saw they was low so ate a chocolat efar and a fizzy drink followed by some toast. Well they leveled out again... great I thought. Until my after dinner reading came back at 11.4 Im so scared of having a hypo again. The ne this morning left me so shaken up. I felt so sick for the rest of the day. I have had to let my 2yr old son go to his grandmas for the night as Im petrified of something happening t ome and him being here alone. I dont know what to do, since being on the oral meds (2 days) my levels have been even more erratic then they was before!!!! Help :( [/QUOTE]
