[QUOTE="azure, post: 1309998, member: 39639"] [USER=154860]@VP83[/USER] If he's published research, it would be sensible to look at it and ask any questions you might have so that you're happy in your own mind about the steroids. Like [USER=253628]@sekv[/USER] I was told I wouldn't need steroids unless I gave birth before 35/36 weeks. The consultant did mention lung development is sometimes behind in babies of diabetic mothers though. I guess the professional opinions vary. There's a lady on here who had steroids and stayed on her pump. A Search might find her (sorry - I can't remember who it was). I'm not sure about MDI but, again, a search may turn up some info. No one can make you go on a sliding scale if you don't want to. If you're uncertain, could you perhaps wait to see if your BS rises out of your control? Congratulations on your HbA1C :) Don't be nervous - there's no need to be :) Do lots of reading and mental preparation, and enjoy your last weeks of pregnancy :) [/QUOTE]
