Got diagnosed with gestational diabetes last week and my gynac said diet alone isnt enough, sugar still high in morning. She mentioned starting insulin and i got a bit scared honestly. For those who took it during pregnancy, which type did your doctor put you on? just trying to understand before my next visit.
This is really not a thing to decide from a community yaar. Insulin choice depends on so many factors, ur weight, sugar levels, kidney stuff. Talk to ur gynac and a diabetologist, they usually work together for pregnancy cases.
Whatever ur doctor writes, that is the best one for u. They have safe options they use in pregnancy. Dont compare with friends because everyone's prescription is different.
I had GD in my second pregnancy and honestly the insulin type is something only ur doctor decides based on ur sugar readings. Mine was on something my endo chose after checking my fasting and post meal numbers. Pls dont pick on ur own, har person ka dose alag hota hai.
My cousin was on insulin during her pregnancy and her doctor explained that the ones they prescribe for expecting moms are tested as safe. Just be regular with ur monitoring and follow up. Doctor knows ur full history so trust that.
Honestly dont stress over which brand, just get a proper diabetologist along with ur gynac and let them manage it. I know it feels like a lot but once the routine sets in its manageable even with work.
