[QUOTE="NooNooHead, post: 1750591, member: 471967"] Hello all I posted in the 'Ask a question' section but got no replies so am posting in here instead... I have been diagnosed with GD recently and am 30 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I'm sure that I had undiagnosed GD in my previous pregnancy as my daughter was 11lb5oz (!!!) and I'm only 5'2"! Consequently they are monitoring me closely now! I've been told I'll have to start on insulin as my fasting levels have been too high in the mornings - they are averaging 5.5 when they should be 5.3 or below. I'm not averse to taking insulin at all but as I have a rare drug-induced movement disorder called tardive dyskinesia (TD), I am very wary about putting anything new medication-wise into my body in case it causes my TD to get worse, aggravate symptoms or bring on new ones. Of course, no-one here is a doctor or neurologist, and I don't expect anyone to have heard of TD letalone know much about it (some neurologists are pretty bad at diagnosing it...) but if anyone has any advice they can give me re: side effects of insulin, and whether anyone has ever had an neurological side effects or reactions, I would be v grateful! Thank you in advance! [/QUOTE]
