Those who have Gestational Diabetes, how's your sugar after giving birth?

Mine was normal 6 weeks after giving birth. That's the standard checkup yata. But 3 years later, i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

32 weeks now and pinag-insulin na ko ng endo ko sa gabi to lower my fasting numbers. I resented it yesterday kasi <95 naman parati ang fasting readings ko pero dahil maarte OB ko at gusto niya 90, sabi ng endo kailangan daw sundin. Sabi sa aking ng endo insulin na daw kasi hindi na ko pwedeng magdiet pa further kasi baka maging harmful na sa baby.

Okay naman si baby based on the fetal biometry and so far, on track naman weight gain ko medyo nasa low range pa nga. Lalo akong naasar sa OB ko kasi pinakita sa akin ng endo ko yung guidelines and <95 naman nakalagay dun.

Anyway, natrauma na yata ako at ayoko na magbuntis ulit. Happy na ko sa isa. Medyo nakakadepress kasi I feel so helpless na kahit anong diet, insulin pa rin ang bagsak ko.

Congrats sainyo. Ako naman nun kahit good pa results ng 1st week of monitoring ko, pinag strict diet at monitor 4x/day pa rin ako. Tapos kahit pasado sa endo, ang OB gusto <90 sa morning and <120 after meals.. Below normal pa rin weight gain ko and okay si baby based on the fetal biometry. I'm taking insulin at night na para mapababa yung fasting numbers ko. Normally kasi 90-95 so now, below 90 na. Konting tiis na lang naman so carry na lang. :)

mag-monitor na din ako starting tomorrow.


share ko lang experience ko sa MMC Diabetes Care Center.. yesterday galing ako sa endo and she advised me to attend a 'diet planning' and 'self-monitoring blood glucose' short talk/module offered by the Diabetes Care Center. i attended the said sessions, PhP630 and PhP300 respectively. una, akala ko free.. haha. i learned something, i won't say a lot, from the diet planning session pero yung pag monitor ng blood sugar, para lang siyang demo ng glucometer. kung alam ko lang, sana nagpa-demo nalang ako sa company nurse namin. haha


i also bought the glucometer from MMC. meron din pala silang promo sa glucometer like what our other sis posted here pero sa SLMC. so ayun, i bought the strips then free na si glucometer. i paid PhP1730 for (2*25) strips and a box (100 pcs) of lancets.


so bukas... start na ng diet! goodluck sa akin! haha

^good luck sayo sis. Just got home from mmc and ang quote sa akin ng doctor ko, 150k pag normal, pag cs, mga 200-250k. Good luck sa amin. That is if di ko mapatanggal yung insulin before ako maglabor. Hay ang mahal grabe.. I take 6 units of detemir at bedtime.

^before i was diagnosed with GDM, ang quote sa akin is 180K for CS. di ko pa natanong kung paano kapag may GDM. haha. mag-iiba ba kasi may complication na? haha


today is my second day of monitoring.. nakakatawa lang kasi 170 yung reading ko ng breakfast kasi uminom ako ng 3-in-1 na coffee. haha. ano kaya magiging reaction ng endo... LOL


pero papakabait na ako for the rest of the week para di ako mag-insulin.  :P

^ hello. Nacurious ako, bakit po mag-iiba yung charges sa with GDM and sa wala? Is there an additional check/test right after delivery? I always thought na the procedure is the same.

^ actually, yun din ang question ko...  ;D   kung mag-iiba ba kapag meron ng complication. hehe


yung endo ko, sabi niya, i need to do OGTT again 6-8 weeks after delivery para ma-confirm kung may diabetes nga ako or wala. kasi ngayon, GDM lang ako classified dahil ngayong pregnant lang naman ako nag-test for blood sugar. kaya after delivery, test daw ulit para ma-confirm kung dahil lang ba buntis, or para malaman kung anong stage na ng diabetes kung meron nga.  :)

Sabi sa akin, may pf din kasi yung endo dahil kailangan andun din sa delivery. Tapos hourly during labor ang pagdraw ng blood and pagcheck ng blood sugar kaya mas mahal. Forgot to mention na yang quote na yan pang semi-private pa lang. Di man lang small private. Pero the fact na 180k yung estimate kay sis chimponzi makes me feel a little better. Ibig sabihin ganun na pala talaga kamahal and di ganun kalayo yung presyo like I thought. Akala ko kasi parang 140k ang cs sa package eh.

^ilang months ka na sis? Kung kaya naman icontrol ng diet, walang problema. Di daw kailangan ideclare ni ob na gdm so less gastos. So yun goal ko ngayon. Mapatanggal insulin ko. Mababa lang naman yung sa akin, 6 units at bedtime. The past 3 days, super baba na ng fasting ko so mag-4units ako tonight. Sabi kasi delikado din sobrang baba baka maghypoglycemic coma.

^ thanks sis sa info! mukhang kelangan ngang paghandaan... waaah. so kasama pala si endo during delivery.. oo nga ano... magkano nalang ang babayaran ko kapag di nadaan sa diet?! waaah.


i'm on my 28th week. actually, itong week na 'to ako nag-start ng monitoring. i-push ko talaga ang self discipline para maganda ang blood sugar numbers ko para di ako mag-insulin. sa saturday kasi ang balik ko kay endo kaya nagpapakabait talaga ako.


kumusta naman ang baby mo sis? malikot ba siya? yung sa akin parang ang tamad kumilos lately... sabi ng OB ko, effect daw yun kapag mataas blood sugar. ganun din ba sabi sayo?

- GDM sis complication na kasi so mas mahal talaga ang cost of delivery. dadagdag pa din kasi yung Endo sa bayad so patong patong talaga. depende din sa rank ng doctors mo if they are senior expect na mas mahal.

i was diagnosed with GDM as per OB. then i consulted 2 Endos - one senior at hindi. yung senior, for him my results were normal, nothing to worry. yung isa, mataas nga daw. looking at my results, borderline lang sila. so, diet lang at monitoring [textspeak!] ng blood sugar. the latter, di ko sinunod.

kung controlled GDM, your OB may not declare it during your delivery para menos gastos. pero kung talagang malaki ang gap sa normal tapos minsan nag iinsulin pa, yun idedeclare. ang complication kasi ng GSM is increase in BP din which is a no no dahil it will cause stress sa baby.

pero not all GDM moms have big babies. you can still delivery them NSD.

^ hi sis. i'm based in SG kaya na-curious ako bakit nag-iba yung price dyan. dito kasi hindi, same lang kahit nag-take pa ko ng insulin, ang naiba lang, ang gusto nila early delivery at 38th to 39th week pero process is the same. hindi rin kasama yung endo ko sa naka-standby sa labour. pero kung magstandby sya, anong gagawin nya kung tumaas yung blood sugar ng nanay eh manganganak na nga? the OB can decide if it's an emergency case naman db?

if i may provide some input lang...

i had GDM also and gave birth via CS. i was scheduled for CS delivery at 7am and the night before, i was asked to stop insulin and i could not eat i think anything beyond dinner. they closely monitored my blood sugar throughout the night (some hypo cases occur at night or early morning). so i guess if anything unusual happened, they would have called my endo. fortunately, wala naman. the endo was not present during delivery itself but came to see me when i was back in my room i think that afternoon or early the next day. wala naman syang ginawa talaga and just asked me to come back 6 weeks after for routine check-up.

she was not really my endo. my real endo doesn't hold clinic and MMC where i gave birth so she endorsed me to someone she knows so my endo at MMC was only really there for my delivery. her PF was only 5k but this was back in 2010.

just to give you an idea of what an endo will do when you give birth.

I don't have GDM pero dito sa bansa kung San kami Naka based walang special package for GDM mothers.. Kung ano meron sa NSD at CS ganun din ang makukuha nila. Actually sa ospital kung San manganganak ako, if natural labor yan, midwives Lang ang mag assist though may Naka standby lang ng OB.

Ang mahal naman ng packages diyan sa atin kung may GDM ka. It's really worth it to ask them ano ba ang gagawin ng extra pf na ibabayad sa endo sa mismong moment na manganganak ka. Bayad sa anest at pedia maiintindihan mo pa eh. Yung actual moment ng delivery hindi ba call ng OB mo rin yun?

Ako nagiging mababa naman ang 1st week ng monitoring ko kaya no need daw for insulin. Pero tuloy pa din ang monitoring. Yun nga lang nabawasan na ang dalas ng pag prick. Balik dw ako ako aa endo after 2 weeks.
