A member asked:

I'm type 2 diabetes, i'm on 850mg metformin, i only just stopped glucomed, because i'm 5w pregnant. i'm following the diet plan and my sugar levels starting going up to 10. what should i do. should i go onto insulin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Type 2 diabetes: Pregnancy may cause increases in blood sugar whether one is a true diabetic or not (gestational diabetes), and if you have type 2 before you were pregnant, it is likely that you will require insulin to manage the pregnancy, and reduce the risks for your child from consequences of unregulated hyperglycemia and/or diabetic ketoacidosis. See your OB provider for advice.
