Post-Miscarriage Diabetes Follow-Up
I am 37 years old. I had an IVF pregnancy. In June, my last HbA1c was 6.7. After that, I stopped taking metformin and continued checking my diabetes regularly. Even without the medication, my fasting sugar stayed around 101, and my post-meal readings were between 130/122/145. Today, my HbA1c report came back as 6.1, with a fasting sugar of 77 and a post-meal reading of 107. So does this mean that the diabetes I was experiencing after my miscarriage—which wasn’t returning to normal—has now become normal? Even though the HbA1c is still a bit high?
Mixtard discontinued
