Hello doctor, I am 7 months pregnant. My sugar is not constant and is fluctuating too much. I am taking insulin two times a day. I have attached my file.
Hello. I read your query and gone through your reports. (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It appears that you have gestational diabetes and cord around the neck of the baby. Now, this is a complicated pregnancy and you must follow a senior gynecologist with an MD degree and significant experience in dealing with such complicated pregnancies because of the cord around the neck of the fetus. Secondly, now I will come to the diabetes part. I saw that you are taking Novomix. However, during pregnancy, the insulin should be insulin Apidra 3-3-3 units during breakfast, lunch, and dinner and insulin Levemir 4 units before bedtime. You have to measure your blood sugar with a home checking glucometer and write your daily fasting, two hours post-meal, just before meals and before bedtime blood sugar chart and insulin taken. You must report that chart weekly to your diabetologist and get your insulin adjusted accordingly. If your blood sugar falls below 100 mg/dL then, you must eat something and report to your diabetologist immediately. So I hope that you understand that you must seriously follow a senior MD gynecologist with experience in the pregnancy with a cord around the neck of the fetus which is a serious issue and change your type of insulin and follow up with the chart of blood sugar measurements weekly with the diabetes doctor. Please maintain a low carbohydrate diet and avoid sugar consumption in any form at all times. I hope this helps. Diabetes. Blood sugar monitoring. Gestational diabetes.
