Gestational diabetes ,pre diabetic
I had gestational diabetes and was in insulin 8units morning and 16units night along with glycophage 500mg morning and night.
I delivered my baby 3months back through c-sec, the next day my glucose level was checked and doctor said to stop insulin and other medications for diabetes. Now after 3months,I checked my fasting level its around 120 and my postmeal is around 140.
Did I delevelop diabetic or its pre diabetic stage ?
I also dont have good sleep since my baby ll b awake all nite , wil that be a reason for fasting high sugar level ?
Is there any chance for my baby to develop diabetes now? Should I check with him?
TIA

You are in prediabetic stage. Just avoid simple carbs and do not take sugar. This doesn't increase risk of diabetes in baby
