Hi,
I just got the first of two steroid shots yesterday to help my baby's lungs. I'm 32w and the baby is measuring in the 2nd percentile.
I was diagnosed with GD at 28w, although it's very mild. I can usually eat almost anything I want and never get my sugar above 120. Since the steroid shot yesterday my sugars are quite a bit higher. My fasting was 98 this morning and it's usually inthe 70's. I am usually really good about what I eat but this is crazy. All I had this morning was an english muffin, eggs and sausage and it was well over the 120 target.
Does anyone know if the effects from the steroid shots are temporary or if this high blood sugar craziness is going to last until birth?
Thanks!
