I'm moving to my home state in 1 week. I'm high risk and have gestational diabetes as well. My sugars have been out of control. I'm doing everything I'm supposed to do. I know it will take at least 3-4 weeks to get approved for medicaid when I move and I will need to see a dr asap. I'm stressing out.
@angel.simenthy Well mine were well into the 200s before insulin. But it's all in how much insulin you are prescribed and how you react. They kept upping my dosages right up until delivery and my averages were 150-180. That's with a complete diet change as well. I'm pre-diabetic even now.
@lovelily, my number are not coming under 120. Even with insulin it goes up to 140 sometimes. With insulin could you bring it down under 120?
Are you on medicine for it? What are your numbers running? I had it and it was never under 180 no matter what I did, and I was on insulin. If it can't be controlled you will more than likely need insulin. Medicaid should cover that, and if not, you can get it super cheap at Wal Mart pharmacy. Like $5. I have great insurance and didn't even need it for the insulin the price was that good.
I don't know about where youre moving but where I live medicade will back pay 3 previous months of pregnancy. So even if you go tell them youre going to get medicade and give them the info once youre approved. If you get a bill call billing dpt and tell them youre awaiting approval.
Getting insulin today. My numbers range from 120-160 with the exceptional low number here and there
