has anyone ever been pregnant with type 2 diabetes befor?

hi everyone,I have type 2 diabetes and I guess you can say it’s under control. I’m not on any meds but I am over weight. I think I may be pregnant. what are the problems you have with pregnancy when you have diabetes? I want people with real life exsperiences not a web link with statistics okay, thank you.what are the chances of you dying in labor or through your pregnancy? and what can you eat to give the baby the nutrition it needs but also keep your blood sugar levels normal? thanks….

To you smart alecks that are talking about fats and candy…shut up you’re clueless.

I got gestational diabetes when I got pregnant.

If you aren’t on insulin now, you will be when you get past month 4 or so.

The hardest part is the weght gain with the insulin and not being able to eat too many fruits or milk.

I gave up most of my carbs.
Ate really really healthy
Got plenty of excercise
And tested 4 or 5 times a day and took 4 shots a day.

You won’t die in labor and it won’t harm your baby…the worst that can happen is that your baby will be larger than most (Mine was 10.1lbs) and after birth the baby may have to be on glucose but other than that you’ll both be fine. (Because the baby is producing more insulin to deal with your sugar levels too, so when he’s out and your sugar is gone…his sugar level drops drastically because of his extra insulin)

You may end up having a c section because of the size of the baby (I did).
But you’ll be fine.

You’ll have to go to your OB and an Endocrinologist (but if you’re type two you probably already have one)

Good Luck mama and congratulations!
