A member asked:

What to do if i am 8 months pregnant and i have gestational diabetes. i've been given a device to monitor my blood sugar.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's a little late: Hi. You're a little late to start worrying about controlling your blood sugar now in your 8th month! Screening for GDM is usually done in gestational weeks 24-28 with the purpose of intervening to get good glucose control until term delivery. Talk with your OB ASAP about lifestyle modification and goals!
