Gestational diabetes

2025-10-26 14:43:23
I had gestational diabetes, and I had a miscarriage 7 months ago. It was an IVF pregnancy. Since then, my blood sugar has not returned completely to normal. I was taking Metformin. For the past 3 months, without any medication, my fasting glucose has been around 101–102 mg/dl, and my 2-hour post-meal readings have been between 120–145 mg/dl. My HbA1c on July 16 was 6.9. I have been checking my fasting glucose every 15 days, and it has consistently remained around 101. Should I continue taking the medicine, or has my gestational diabetes returned to normal?

If you are planning for pregnancy, you need to keep your HbA1C below 6 ideally. Please see the physician for blood sugar management pre conception.

Medication is required for fasting sugar levels more than 126 and postprandial sugars are more than 160 Till then all you need is Lifestyle modification and a diabetic diet Gestational diabetes means your body has a tendency to develop deranged sugars if you do not follow a proper diet and Lifestyle modification

You are good without medicine, keep it up. Controlled carbohydrates and high protein with active exercise will help. You can join online counselling for diet and lifestyle to avoid being diabetic in future.

You can stop the tablet for a while and continue with diabetic diet and healthy life style and repeat the test after 2-3 weeks.
