Diabetes and pregnancy

Thanks for the answers!There is a lot of information and experiences in this post, it is very helpful!😊, I have read it whole, it has been for years!My endocrine did not facilitate me where to call, I only told me the acceptable hemo, then I went through another because mine was low and he didn't tell me anything or explained to me, I told this new one to put on the bomb, because with Toujeo I controlled badly,But he told me that I did not put it on me, this was in December and at this time the head doctor has made me control and now there is a delay in the quotes of specialists and I do not know when I will go.

Hello again, I wrote a consultation a few days ago.Well today I have made the pregnancy test because I have had a 4 -day delay, and it has given me positive.The problem that the endocrine is on vacation, that has told me in the center.I have called the GP and I am waiting for the call because now you can not go to the health center, with this pandemic, he already sends me at high risk you told me, right?And to the midwife and I call that?Or I have to wait.I am going to try to control the glycemias but I have been a bit of all these days.I will try to follow the glycemia ranges.I am very nervous because August is a bad month with the doctors' holidays.Thank you

@Soniii don't worry, don't you are nervous.

Call Tocology and specify that you are a risk pregnancy and need to attend you.

Where are you from and what hospital it corresponds to you?

I have had to paralyze my assisted reproduction with the Coronavirus and the other day they called me to see if I had been pregnant or how hehehe was going.

@anif thanks!Tomorrow I will call, what do I call the hospital and to pass me with tooth?Alomejor pass me to the hospital plant, or do I tell you the high -risk service?I don't know how to specify it, I tell you to happen to my doctor?Sorry for so many questions but I don't know very well how to do it.I am responsible for Don Benito's hospital in Badajoz, I don't know how they will take the subject there or if they are good.They are very attentive on your site, they call you and everything, the issue of appointments does not go very well, at least with other specialists.
Look that I have written in the previous message that I was going to call me the header and in the end he has not called me, because I have called out of appointment, and the doctor has told the administrative who takes appointment and until Monday I did notThey have given 😓
Tomorrow I try to call the hospital to see if they can happen to me

@Soniii depends on each hospital.My experience is in La Paz, which within Tocology has a special unit for diabetics.

My advice is that you call, ask you to pass you with chopology because you have a high risk pregnancy and I guess they will happen to you who corresponds ...

If they went from you, you can always get alarmist in "my insulin needs are changing ..." and I doubt that they ignore you.

@anif is worth thank you very much!Tomorrow I call, to see what they tell me

@SONII Do not worry control your figures the best you can, until week 8-9 I did not start the hypoglycemia, before that I had the high needs as before the rule comes.
I believe that until you are 7 weeks or so they will not meet .... The two pregnancies have taken me in La.paz, one in 2018 and another now that I am 17 weeks.Now the consultations are much more spaced by the theme of the virus and you will have to strive the double, it depends on you to have a good control of the glucose carrying a carbohydrate counting diet as strict as possible.You'll see how everything comes out phenomenal, much encouragement !!

@erpla Thank you very much for the spirits !!I am controlling a lot, I hope everything goes well.Let everything do well to you!

Congratulations @erpla!

With hereditary diabetes factors, it was not yet diabetic when I got pregnant at 31, but with this hereditary load, the most obvious thing was that it presented gestational diabetes.It was a complicated pregnancy despite medical care and control.If I could recommend something to a new mother with diabetes is ... have patience, follow the diet that the nutritionist indicates, never lose a consultation, especially because the monitoring of the baby is very important, sinceWhen glucose levels are raised in the mother, the baby generates more insulin in order to metabolize the excess glucose it is receiving and this makes it prone to hypoglycemia.
The control will always be with diet and insulin, in the first pregnancy this control will always be simpler since there is no insulin resistance, in later pregnancies prevention will be the gold standard.Ideally, every pregnancy should be foreseen and take all necessary measures to make your pregnancy as healthy as possible.Maintain an ideal weight, avoid foods that can generate risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension.Exercise to reach this stage with a well -strengthened body to house a new being is essential.

@anif thank you very much!😁

Was any with medication alone or without it when she became pregnant as diabetic?The endocrine told me that if I stay I will have to put insulin and I worry that issue.Also the issue of how it is now risks, it is bad time for the best to stay (in fact because of the Covid situation, it has not recommended it but I have already spent the 37 and it is an issue that worries me), I do not know how it will work,I'm afraid to stay and work attending public (I am an official) and I'm afraid to have to be exposed and take it and that they are added complications to the subject on top of having to put insulin for the mismatches that I can cause, I would like to know if anyone has happenedEspecially for that of starting with insulin when you become pregnant and how it was.

@Nila I have diabetes for 25 years and I have become pregnant in pandemic.I have turned 38 and I didn't want to wait any longer.
Regarding the clicking I cannot help you, I obviously punish myself.What I can tell you is that at the beginning, and until week 20 or the insulin needs come down so if you pancreas still work I do not see why you will have to puncture but if you are taking medication it is possible that it is incompatible withThe pregnancy for what you would have to start with insulin ... In that case it will be a more coñazo pregnancy but you are not going to get rid of now in 1 year .....
With the issue of covid it is possible that they directly give you the way or adapt the position at least what I understand is that diabetes and pregnancy are reasons why they leave you, or adapt the position so that soI don't see it a problem .....
The worst thing is that the consultations will be less numerous, although in my first pregnancy I went every 15 days, in this they see me every month ... but the glucose figures send them by email every 15 days so I do not see it eithera problem ... in the end that you are well controlled depends on you ... and before any questions you can always call on the phone for that it is not necessary to go ... Much encouragement !!

Yes, the doctor put me a medication that was not compatible and at first he told me that when I wanted to stay and change it to metformin.I have done that.And when I stay for my type of diabetes I would have to put insulin.We are in the consultation we have not spoken anything else, only when I would be pregnant, I would go to high risk and to a diabetes and pregnancy unit.I have read for the group something that pregnant women do not take metformin but the endocrine that is a specialist in my type of diabetes has recommended things like that, then I will have to trust.Anyway, in the event that it was not so, it is impossible to contact them, I could not even ask them, I already tried in May to locate them and it was impossible.

It doesn't let me edit.I suppose that when I stayed I will have to get in touch with the GP to pass me to the pregnancy unit because my endocrine is in another province.And already staying to insulin.Although this issue has a little nervous about that, for being in two different provinces and that there is no coordination

@Nila I imagine that at the time of staying, if you endocrine is not available or on TF you will have to go to another endocrine, it is more, the logical thing is that you derive you specialized in pregnancies ... in my case it isThat mine TB leads to pregnant women but in my first pregnancy they changed me to a specialized in that.When you stay, you talk to the header and that derives you ...

@Nila they told me that having glycosilada well during pregnancy I would not have to prick insulin.

I have not been pregnant, so I don't know if I would change the situation with the hormonal bomb ...

But they assumed that, at least in the first quarter, I would not need it.

Normally from week 8 to 20 (approx), insulin needs are lower, then they begin to rise, hence the non -diabetic pregnant women do the glucose test in week 22 or so ...

I suppose that for my type of diabetes it is what she considers.In any case, it would already be seen that in case I see it complicated to stay, it is that when we were young we lived crowded with the delays and now you realize that the sun, the moon, plutón and alphaomega h of the constellation has to be alignedof Raticulin hahaha
