My blood sugar is running about 145-150 two hours after eating. It's only been one day since I quit metformin. Still in hospital. They're saying these are "normal" but I know once the metformin is out of my system my sugar will be higher. Now they're saying they may send me home on nothing at all. It's like wtf am I here....if they can't keep me on metformin or insulin won't the high sugar hurt my baby? #frustrated #ignored #hunnnnngry
The MFM clinic is for high risk. But here at the hospital they aren't I don't think I've seen an OB since I got here. Just one general resident dr.
do you see an ob that specializes in diabetic pregnancies if not id highly recommend it b/c it's considered high risk.
@jimenez310, that is crazy. I understand maybe if that specific med is dangerous to the baby vs a different med which may be safer. But to pull you off all meds when diabetic is just absurd. I'd have a different opinion.
I've been diabetic for three years. So it seems crazy that they would even consider putting me off it and maybe not using insulin while pregnant. @kejs0911
The dr at the clinic said it is. The dr here said there aren't enough studies to know. So idk but I don't want to just let it go.
The last time they tried to see how I would do off metformin my sugar was going up to 200 after the third day off of it. This is a few months ago. @kejs0911
Nope. Haven't seen my ob since they admitted me. I won't always have the same OB bc I'm going to the MFM clinic.
tell them that you demand to talk to your doctor's office before they take you off anything. then sugars you have now aren't bad but they'll get worse.
