Dexona and betamethasone course

2023-03-11 06:14:03
Hello doctor, I have been diagnosed with borderline gestational diabetes. Taking metformin 500 twice a day and monitoring glucose levels at home which is coming fasting 110 around and post meal 140 around. I was given dexona on 23rd and 24th February and betamethasone injections on 9th and 10th March ( in the gap of 13 days). While injections metformin dose was increased for 3 days. Is it worrisome that in my condition two courses of steroids were given?

It's routinely given for lung maturity in mothers like you who have diabetes or hypertension or other risk factors in pregnancy. Don't think too much about it.
