Message: <blockquote data-quote="Juicyj" data-source="post: 2144998" data-attributes="member: 53162">Hello [USER=514907]@Tinkleberry[/USER] Welcome to the forum <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />It's hard not to worry at a time when you should be enjoying your pregnancy, that aspect is normal, and whilst it would be difficult to find anyone sharing the exact same experience as you, I was diagnosed with diabetes at 23 weeks and put straight onto insulin, I have no idea how long i'd been diabetic for but levels were high enough to warrant immediate insulin therapy, I hadn't been tested previously, I have to admit I tried very hard not to get stressed or worry too much, knowing that stress wasn't good for baby, it was however still a concern.  My daughter was induced at 37 weeks due to a higher than normal birth weight as they feed on the sugars, I was warned that she might require special care on arrival but fortunately all was ok with her.Keeping good control is vital as much as is possible now for you, your diabetic nurse can help with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and should keep a close watchful eye on you now.  Please try and ignore the negativity around this, concentrating on today instead and managing your levels as well as you can do, we are here to chat to if you have any worries too <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
