What was your Hba1c result while pregnant?

Hi,

In my first pregnancy it ranged from 5.3-6. Second pregnancy it's been 5.7 since a couple of months before getting pregnant until now at 8 weeks. Well done for getting yours so low your doing really well. There's no better incentive than pregnancy!

Hi, mine was 6.4 pre-pregnancy (I still do old system I'm afraid), 5.4 in 1st trimester and at 17 weeks 5.6... Am hoping I can keep it around that for the rest!
Well done on getting yours down!

Hi Mrsass,
Im not pregnant yet but my docs at pre conception said they would ideally like my hbac1 to be 6.5 before I start trying but said they would give me the green light if it was anything under 7! xxx

Hello! For the months before conception mine was about 6.7.
Once pregnant (just after Xmas time...) it was about 7.2 or a touch lower for the first trimester, and then from 2nd trimester onwards it gradually dropped from 6.8 to 6.0.
Know mine were higher at times than what a lot of others manage and I stressed a lot about it especially in the beginning but the endo team were fine with them. To me it felt the preconception numbers were really the ones they were most vigilant about. Good luck!

Hi,

During the months before conception mine was 6,5 (48). I've got the green light when it was under 7 (53)
Now i'm 4 weeks pregnant and it has dropped to 5,4 (36) In the hospital they are very pleased with the values because the lower they are,
the saver it will be for the baby. But 51 is also a good value and congratulations with getting your HbA1c so low.
Remember that with most diabetics your BG's will drop in the first trimester and therefore you will get a lower HbA1c.
Wish you lots of luck for the time being

Greetings Annemarie

Well done on getting your HbA1c so low. Mine has been sitting at 6 for a while already (I think almost all year). I'm not pregnant yet though.

Hey.

pre conception mine was. 6.7 %
Beginning of trying for a baby 6.5%
first trimester. 6.0%

I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in July 2013 (though now doctors think that I am in honeymoon phase of Type 1) with Hba1c of 9.8% (84). Got this down to 4.9% (30) by October 2013 and found out I was pregnant. This rose to 5.1% (32) and hit 5.3% (34) with 6 weeks to go. Had it checked 12 weeks after the birth and it had returned to 5.1% (32).
