You can ask to try oral medications first but if that doesn't work I'd just embrace the insulin. The longer and better co trolled your numbers are the healthier your pregnancy and the more likely things will go smoothly. Uncontrolled numbers lead to complications and wide shouldered GD babies leading to csections etc. I had GD that wasn't well managed in my first pregnancy which led to my baby having shoulder dystocia. This time the maternal fetal medicine doctors reluctantly agreed to letting me try oral meds first as long as I agreed to do insulin if that didn't work well. I'm 4 weeks from induction and I'm close to needing the insulin but again I'd rather be on it than have another terrifying delivery or be forced into a c-section.

Sorry to hear you're going thru this... for me this time around it's taking forever I was put on insulin without trying pills but just take one day at a time I'm sure it'll be ok... good luck

Unfortunately, that's really high and probably feels it can't be diet controlled. If it was just a little over 95 he'd probably let you tweak things. I'm sorry, GD sucks.

My dr does glyburide first to control fasting but i asked about insulin. The nurse said it would be just at night if it's to control fasting. She also said insulin was easier in a way

120's and highest was 135 yesterday but he didn't even have that number

How high have your fasting numbers been?
