Question:

From Clinton, Washington, USA:

I had gestational diabetes with my first child controlled with diet alone and had no problems. Now, I am 30 weeks pregnant with a second child. If my levels are the same, and I weigh the same, can I be reasonably reassured that the effect of the diabetes on the baby will be the same? Should I be open to starting insulin?

Answer:

Every pregnancy is different. So it is hard to predict an outcome based on previous experience. If you have persistently elevated fasting blood sugar values, then insulin may be necessary.
