I have a doctors appointment in about an hour so I'm going to talk to my Dr. About this but I'm afraid I'm going to get bitched at so I'm needing some clarity and reassurance..
Last week I went to a class for gestational diabetes and got my kit to check my blood 6 times a day.
The goals were: under 90 for breakfast
60-120 2 hours after meals.
And below 100 at bedtime.
My numbers are ALWAAAYS lower. I've checked 42 times so far & they have been under the goals. I don't feel like I have gestational diabetes at this point, and today my pharmacy called me saying my doctor sent out a prescription for something dealing with the GD. There's 2 things prescribed & they are $50.
My problem/question is.. I don't think I should get it after reviewing my numbers. I feel like if I just continue to maintain this healthy diet, baby and I will be fine. What are your thoughts/opinions?! I don't want my Dr. to make me feel like a piece of shit for refusing it, but I know now a days it's all about the money..

If ur GD is controlled with diet there's no reason for Meds. That's just common sense. Don't feel bad for refusing unnecessary treatment.

Ive had high sugar too but my doctor just advice me to control my diet, she didn't prescribed me medicines because she wouldnt want to stress me out thinking about the complications if its not necessary., right now i am on controlled diet plus waiting on my set of juice for everyday to balance my sugar

Yes just thinking about taking medicine stresses me out!! I'd rather just watch my diet & everything should be ok. I've made it this far and my baby is looking good & no complications :) @hermajestypenny
