[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did your OB give you insulin and not offer a pill? I’m the pp who delivered at Sibley and took a pill (glyburide). I couldn’t get my fasting number under control but all other numbers were fine. Also my baby was 2 weeks early and only issue was low blood sugar. Did Foxhall say no? [/quote]

Op here. My MFM was the one that prescribed the insulin because glyburide crosses the placenta and insulin is considered safer. I did some research on my own and felt more comfortable with insulin as well. My only issue is fasting too - everything else is under control by diet and exercise. [/quote] Oh man, I am sorry... I can completely relate. Just want to share a happy baby outcome. My DC did have low blood sugar as mentioned but recovered quickly and is a totally happy healthy toddler. Also, with my second pregnancy I didn't even have GD. Go figure. Good luck and I hope this all works out. If you do deliver at Sibley, it is a great hospital and they are equipped to handle babies that need extra care. The new hospital even more so than old (baby 1 was at old, baby 2 was at new).
