I am very fluffy, was on 2000mg of metformin for Insulin resitance and I was GD. I passed my 1 hour GTT probably due to the metformin however I knew my sugars were bad because I had been taking them at work. When they told me I passed the 1 hour I continued to take my sugars and showed them to the dr. He added insulin to the metformin. Then after about 2-3weeks he decided to change the metformin to glyburide. I started dropping in the 40's and he thought it was the insulin but it wasnt it was the glyburide. So I ended the pregnancy on just insulin.
The dr at first did think the baby would be big. But in the end I had pre-e and I think that it was evened the babies weight out. He was 6 6.5 at 37weeks.
Some can control it with diet some cant. I couldnt. My fasting number in the morning was always good no matter if I had insulin or not. It was always my numbers after I ate that was bad.
IF you have GD towards the end of the pregnancy you will be monitored closely. I had non-stress test done every week starting at 30weeks. Then because I was becoming pre-e I started having them done 2-3x a week.
My baby did have problems keeping his sugar up after he was born for a few days. He is fine now.
