I had normal sugar before but now im pregnant and a bit scared it might go up. No diabetes in family. Does pregnancy itself raise it for everyone or only some? Just curious.
Yes, it definitely can! I had gestational diabetes and had to be very careful with my diet, cutting out sweets, white rice, and high-sugar fruits. Please monitor your levels closely and follow your doctor's diet chart strictly.
Placental hormones can block the action of insulin, leading to insulin resistance and higher blood sugar. It's a very common condition called gestational diabetes. Your doctor is the best person to diagnose and manage this through proper blood tests.
Yes, hormones can cause blood sugar to go up in some women, which is called gestational diabetes. Eating fiber-rich foods and doing light walks helps, but please consult your doctor if your sugar levels are high as it needs medical monitoring.
Dealing with morning sickness and then worrying about blood sugar is so exhausting. But yes, pregnancy can sometimes raise sugar levels. Just make sure to tell your doctor so they can check it during your routine blood tests.
My pregnancy app had a whole section on this! It explained that the placenta produces hormones that can cause glucose to build up in your blood. It's super common, so tracking your meals and getting tested around week 24-28 is really helpful.
Beta, during pregnancy our body changes a lot, and sometimes sugar levels can rise. Try to avoid too much direct sugar and potatoes, but do not ignore this. Pls go to your doctor and get the proper test done.
Haan na, pregnancy hormones ki wajah se sugar up-down ho sakti hai. Isko gestational diabetes bolte hain. But don't stress, regular checkup se sab normal ho jata hai, doctor se consult kar lo ek baar.
It can happen because of all the hormonal changes in our body. I was also worried about it, but I maintained a healthy diet and walked daily, and had a very smooth normal delivery. Just stay active and let your doctor guide you.
Please get this checked with your gynac. My sugar levels shot up in the second trimester and it caused complications later on, so I had to be on strict insulin. Don't take it lightly and do the glucose test on time.
I completely understand how stressful it is to think about high blood sugar and worry about the baby. It is true that pregnancy can increase sugar levels due to hormones, but please take a deep breath. Your gynac will guide you step by step to keep things safe.
Since I had PCOS, I was already at risk for higher sugar during pregnancy. It does happen because of hormonal changes, but with the right guidance, it's very manageable. Please get your tests done regularly and don't panic.
Oh god, this was my biggest fear during my second trimester! My sugar went up slightly and I started stressing so much, which actually made it worse. Yes, pregnancy hormones can raise sugar, but talking to your doctor will really ease your mind.
