insulin Does everyone with GD have to be on Insulin?

No. I currently take Metformin pills and am strict on my diet so that really helps to control my levels without insulin

I'm on glyburide at night for my fasting, everything else is diet controlled. Last pregnancy I was diet controlled.

No. I had no insulin or medsmy first pregnancy.

Thanks everyone, that makes me feel better. Hopefully I don't need insulin.

Nope! I don’t take any medication or insulin. Completely diet controlled. However, I’m 35 weeks and things could change.

I haven’t needed insulin this pregnancy or last pregnancy either

I had it with my first pregnancy I wasn't on Insulin or any type of medication I controlled mine with diet.

Depends if you’re able to remain stable just with the diet. It’s all up to your body.

I was diet controlled the first time I had GD.

The second time I had GD I was on insulin at bedtime. It was really easy, there's no shame in insulin. It was actually a lot less stressful than being diet controlled.

I am currently on insulin before bed for my fasting numbers.
