@barbieBaby28. Best to wait for your ob's reading. Pero based sa link ni mrskolca mukhang wala ka gdm

Question: after recovering from a stomach flu or food poisoning, biglang mababa na lagi sugar ko. And thats continuous for a week na. Bumalik naman na yun appetite ko. Posible kaya nawala yun gdm ko? I pointed it to the endo pero medyo dedma lang sya. Kesyo imonitor ko lang daw kase baka tumaas uli next time (para patuloy pa rin ako magpa consult sa kanya? Hehe).

[barbiebaby28]

yes mga sis.
pa interpret ko din to on Monday. mejo worried lang ako dun sa +3 sa urine result ng ogtt. thanks!

[MrsKolca]

Hello mga sis!

Napost ko na to sa isa pang thread, pero post ko na din dito.
Hay, nadiagnose ako with polyhydramnios during my 20 week scan, fetal biometry ang ginawa, di pa CAS.  Ok naman ang size ni baby, saktong sakto with my LMP, and sabi naman ni OB sono, the baby is healthy, yun nga lang madami daw akong fluid. 

Kagaya ng madami sa tin dito, di ko maiwasang hindi mag-google about sa polyh kaya ayan, nappraning ang lola niyo.  Nawi-weirduhan ako kasi normal ang fundal height ko, maganda ang result ng hba1c ko (pinaggawa ko kasabay nung ultrasound ko 2 weeks ago) 4.8 ang result.  So di ko alam if this is still because of my GDM.  Very rare na tumaas ang sugar ko eh.  Siguro 3x pa lang ako nagfail and yun [textspeak!] talagang madami akong nakain at may sweets pa.

And yung OB ko hindi naman siya mukhang worried, in fact, after the ultrasound, nagintay pa siya ng 1 week para madiscuss sa kin yung results, at di naman niya inielaborate kung bad ba yung polyh or what.  Imention ko lang daw kay diabetologist ko. Meet ko si diabetologist this saturday pa, and i think irerequire na niya ko maginsulin kahit mababa naman ang sugar ko.

joining this thread...im currently 27 weeks preggy, 2nd baby

i had my ogtt last week and unfortunately, failed ako sa 2nd hour and positive din sa urine...when i went to my ob, she referred me to an endo na...yesterday i had  my check-up with the endo (grabe naman ang pila dito, gabi na kami nakauwi)... so ayun start na ako sa glucose monitoring plus diet daw muna then follow-up after a week to see if controlled, if not, will start on insulin na...the endo also gave a referral letter to the dietitian, i was only allowed 1600 kcal/day, naisip ko gaano kaya kadaming rice yun hahaha, malakas kasi talaga ako sa rice even nung di pa preggy, di ako pwede bread lang so now, goodbye na din muna sa choco float, ice cream, cakes waaahhhh...ang hirap pala mag-diet, lagi akong gutom..

Hello mga sis!

Met with my diabetologist last Saturday night, and as expected, nirerequire niya ko mag-insulin.  NagpaUS ako ulit yesterday, and as per that OB/Sono, nasa normal range pa ang fluids ko though nasa high end of the normal range, pero di pa ko polyh.  Now i'm confused, as much as possible kasi ayoko muna maginsulin, without checking kung yung sugar ko ba talaga ang reason kaya madami akong fluid.  Maganda kasi ang monitoring ko, tumaas man ang sugar ko, very rare at mabilis siyang bumabalik sa normal.  maganda din ang result ng last HBA1C ko. Nabasa ko kasi na sugar ang cause ng polyh pag uncontrolled yung sugar mo. 

Sabi ni hubby observe na lang muna namin, schedule ako ng CAS on my 26th week plus 3d ultrasound na din, if madami pa din ako fluid and ideclare na polyh ako, then dun ako mag-insulin.

Hi mommies!
I am currently on my 33rd week of pregnancy and I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes.  I was adviced to go on a diet. HIRAP NG DIET   I am only allowed to eat 1 cup of rice every meal (3x a day) tapos no sweets and no fatty food. 'di tuloy ako makakain ng chocolates and cake I was also advised to check my blood sugar everyday. Kaya ko naman icontrol. And tiis kasi for my baby naman 'to I have a copy of the diet program from Medical City. If you guys want, just tell me.

[imeego]

hay ang aga nakakainis na, bagsak ako sa fasting sa glucose monitoring ko  ...this is the 2nd time na, but with the first one, i knew the culprit, ngayon hindi kasi konti lang naman kinain ko last night, no merienda din before going to bed..maybe it's time to increase the insulin na, currently 12 units /day kasi ako..oh well, next week ko pa malalaman kung need na ba higher dose of insulin. weekly kasi ang text ni hubby sa endo ko to update her of the results of my sugar monitoring, buti na lang i have the kindest endo so no need na pumila pa for check-up

[miminibebe]

29 weeks today and since monday sinisipon na ko.  Ito siguro ang culprit kaya tumataas ang sugar ko ngayon. Hay...

[missFB]

hello mga sisses.. pa join ako sa thread.. though sa next checkup ko pa ang sched ng ogtt ko gusto ko lang maging aware sa gestational diabetes, lalo na nung nabasa ko na isa daw sa symptoms ay laging uhaw.. at yun yung napansin kong changes ngayon, lagi akong uhaw..  I'm on my 24weeks. I'm praying na wala naman sana ako nito.. 

my mother is diabetic din kasi, diba sabi nila may factor din yun?  Ano bang mga napansin symptoms before nalaman na may GD kayo..?

Thanks in advance. 

[Englemamma]

I had GDM on my second pregnancy last year. This one is my third na. and so far wala pa akong GDM but im still 27 weeks so there's still a chance na magkaroon.

With my second pregnancy napansin ko na uhawin ako and I'm normally nahihilo and mabigat ang pakiramdam (well probly because mabigat din yung baby I had my glucose test on week 30 and we found out that i have GDM. the score was 9.1 and i wasn't given insulin just controlled diet lang.
Very strict yung diet ko that i even lost 2 kgs pero si baby okay naman lahat ng measurements...ako lang ang na reduce.

My Mother is also diabetic...type 2 diabetic. She is taking medicines for it. My OB said that kapag meron sa family na may history ng diabetes then most likely we will develop GDM during pregnancy. I wasn't checked for GDM on my first pregnancy but i think i had it kasi my firstborn was more than 10lbs.

Take care mga Sis!

[jenny_2284]

just had my check up with my ob and got the result of my ogtt test. wagi! finally okay na blood sugar ko.  and for the first time nag gain na din ako ng weight, 4 kilos in 1 month. parang nabigla nga ako 4 kilos nga pero sa isang buwan parang ang laki naman. hehe. sa tuwa ko napakain ako di oras ng brownies na bake ko for my kids. pero yun lang. will continue pa din sa pag iwas ng too much carbs and sweet. yung pagkain ko ng brownies, ummm... treat ko lang for myself. rewarding lang ang feeling. at least mejo me peace of mind na ko. but will still continue pa din sa pag monitor ng sugar ko.

[angeljolie]

I also had my OGTT yesterday, and unfortunately, I failed the FBS and the test after 1 hour. Yung after 2 hours ok naman. I was advised to see a diabetologist. Pero since sa June 19 pa ang sched ko, diet diet muna siguro ako. Medyo nawili din ako sa pagkain the past month kasi sobrang bagal ng weight gain ko before. Ngayon naman sumobra. I gained 3kgs in a month. Uhoh. My bad kasi sa kagustuhan ko mag gain ng weight, nag sweets ako, madaming rice and soda. Ayoko na nga ulitin hehe. Ayoko magka GD.

[foxy_girlfriend]

buti ka pa sis imeego 1600kcal. ako 1500 kcal lang low fat low salt pa. super depressing ang diet na binigay sa kin.
marami naman ang food yun nga lang. yung bread ko controlled pati salt and fat. ayoko ng maging matigas ang ulo.

so far glucose monitoring muna rin for a week then return to endo to check if I need to take insulin.  dapat less than or equal daw to 130, 1 hour after meals kasi sa 1st hour ng ogtt ako nagfail.

first ogtt borderline ang 2nd hour. pass naman ako sa fbs at hba1c kaso madami pa din daw amniotic ko kaya pinag 100g ogtt ako this monday. ayun failed ako sa 1st hour. =(

nagpacheck-up ako sa endo makati med. ang haba ng pila din! bumalik na ko sa office at lahat pagbalik ko sa pila
10 pa rin ang ahead sa kin.

 

[imeego]

@foxy_girlfriend

naku sis sobrang  depressing talaga yung diet na yan, 1st week ko laging mainit ulo ko kasi gutom saka feeling deprived ako ...ang nakakainis pa, kala ko pasado yung glucose monitoring ko ng 1 week na diet lang, nung pinakita ko sa endo, bagsak pala yung mga pre-breakfast ko so ayun, insulin din ending ko, and 4x a day monitoring din...eh matigas ulo ko, di ko talaga masunod strictly yang diet na yan so may times na bagsak, madalas borderline pa din kahit with insulin na hehe, although yung weight gain ko and size ni baby ok naman...once a week text na lang namin kay endo yung results ko ng glucoe monitoring and so far ok pa naman, di na sya nag-increase ng insulin

[plumpista]

Hello mga sis! Pa-join! I'm 224.5 lbs na ngayon. My pre-pregnancy weight is 219 lbs. Lagi akong may yeast infection on and off and now balik nanaman. Naka vag supp nanaman ako pero parang cream type. My first 2 glucose screening normal lahat. Takot ako baka meron ako papa-check ako most probably on 23rd. Sana Lord wala naman. May history kasi kami sa family Lola ko meron pero ako naman di mahilig sa sweets and pigil na pigil ako. I don't drink softdrinks rin. Takot kasi ako sa diabetes. Hay pagdasal at diet at water therapy ako nito. Sana lang kakambal lang pagbubuntis ko ang yeast infection ko. Healthy pregnancy sa ating lahat! God Bless!

[miss ira]

I am very much happy to see this thread. I had my ultrasound and OGCT done nung june 11, polyhydramnios and failed and glucose test ko 9.91mmol/l (3-57 - 7.64) nasa 178mg/dl which is mataas kasi nasa 130 mg/dl lang daw ang normal. I'm on diet for 2 weeks then balik ako for OGTT na. If failed, irerefer daw niya ako sa Diabetologist .Sana lang pumasa ako. May PCOS pala ako prior pregnancy and overweight.

Im trying to limit my rice intake from 1 cup to 1/2 cup of rice per meal then veggies banana or avocado. nagbackread ako and some said, out ang saging probably that's latundan right? So I might switch to Saba and stick with fish, 1/2 cup of rice, and meat once a week. Kakabili lang naming ng  glucometer, wala palang accu-chek aviva  lancets and strips dito sa atin kaya bumili nalang kami kahit di pa pinapamonitor ni OB blood sugar ko. Bumili na kami ni hubby para atleast malaman ko kung tama ba yung mga kinakain ko. we got the accu-chek active, grabe naman pala mahal ng strips..

First try ko kanina:

2 hrs 10 mins after breakfast  121mg/dl
Hour after Lunch                     123mg/dl


My questions are:

1. What is the normal blood sugar level for those na hindi diabetic prior pregnancy?

2. Yung test before breakfast, means before talaga kumain ng breakfast? or an hour before kumain?

3. I want to know my sugar level for fasting, can I do fasting like 11pm -7am. Okay na po ba yun 8hrs fasting with no water? usually mga past 7am na po kasi ako nagbebreakfast.

4. Since medyo tipid ako for the strips, usually for endos or OB, what time yung mostly pinapamonitor nila? is before BF, after lunch, after dinner?

5. Some of you take their sugar level an hour after the first bite or first hour ng meal but some 2 hours after. I have read sa ibang sites na for non-pregnant, they usually take it 2 hours after meal. Alin po ba ang mas advisable gawin kapag pregnant?

Lastly, if pwede po ba malaman yung mismong followed menu talaga? lalo na yung oatmeal diet? was it effective? I have the Quaker Oat (red) Quick Cook na walang lasa and have it with Low Fat Milk, okay lang po ba yun?

Pasensya na po napahaba. I just dont know what to do lalo na makita ko ulit sugar level ko. I have read ffrom some na dapat <120 ang reading but mine's above that. Is it still normal or not?

[alessabanana]

^Sis miss ira, ako din may PCOS and slightly overweight before I got pregnant. Mas high risk tlaga tayo sa GD. pero yung readings mo nung first try mo is way decent compared sa akin. Feeling ko kaya pa ng diet yan have faith.

Sabi ng endo ko, before eating daw ang range ay 80-101mg/dl then after eating ay 102-120 mg/dl.

Nagtest ako ng umaga before breakfast as in bago kumain. Wala namang specific time. Ako I prefer after I pee in the morning and before I drink my first glass of water. I noticed na dun mababa ang sugar ko e

Pag fasting, my endo recommended 10 hours of no food and no water.

Pag nag-momonitor ka best if you can get readings before breakfast, before lunch, 2 hours after lunch, before dinner and 2 horus after dinner/bedtime. The good thing dito sa setup na 'to is magiging mindful ka sa times ng pagkain. Small frequent meals talaga best for people with GD. saka bawal mag skip ng meals.

For breakfast, 1 cup of non fat milk then I eat egg/tuna/chicken sandwich(I make the spread beforehand, I use mayo lite then onions, tapos I add the protein na depende sa mood ko. For the chicken remove the skin ha.), then sa snack I drink diabetasol - nakakbusog nman kaya pwede na. Lunch, 1 cup rice plus meat and veggies(green leafy ones), meryenda - sandwich again pero half lang. Dinner - 1/2 cup rice plus fish/chicken and veggies.

Yan yung ni-recommend sa akin ng nutritionist ko sa VRP. Nagse-seminar sya dun, nirefer lang ako ng endo ko. Iba iba din daw yugn diet na recommended depende sa case Sakin kasi nag experiment muna kami bago ako nakakuha ng system sa pagd-diet. Saka every now and then bumibigay ako.. parang kahapon nag sundae ako bawi na lang sa exercise pag ganun. lakad lakad hehe Kaya mo yan sis!

[bubugirl]

Yeey! im happy to see this post!


Im 23weeks na and have Gestational Diabetics (GD).  Hindi ko lang sure kung acquired yung diabetis ng tito ko pero siya lang naman sa side ng dad ko.

I failed my 2 glucose test. one i took only 50mg of glucose: FAIL and after 3 days pinag take ule ako ng glucose test but this time 100mg of glucose ang lalaklakin ko (eeeewwww): FAIL din. so sabe ng Doc ko (Internal Medicine - diabetes siya) na may GD daw ako, to avoid congenital abnormalities, super pag laki ng baby, etc... i need to take insulin 2x a day (AM/PM ang shot ko) for 12u yung dosage ko and need to monitor my blood sugar 3x a day (before bfast, 1 1/2 hr after lunch and before dinner). GRABE!! SAKIT MG TUROK NG INSULIN.

then after 2 weeks bumalik ako sa doc ko, good news normal yung reading ng sugar ko. may 1 araw lang na tumaas sugar ko kasi sinisipon ako and I took VIT C.... turns out there are 2 types of vit c, sugar coated/non sugar coated... hehe when I took the non sugar coated (capsule much better sabe ng OB ko) bumaba na sugar ko.  Now im still taking insulin din, but 10u nalang ang dosage (2x a day paren) sana bumaba lalo yung dosage ko to 0 bago ako manganak.

stay safe and happy mga sis.. kahit hirap sa pag pigil sa pagkain ng sweets at salty food tiis tiis muna tayo para kay baby. hehe pero I promise myself na after ko manganak.....lalaklak ako ng venti na starbucks mocha frappe!!! buwahahahaha....
