Hi everyone im Type 2 Diabetic, and already have a little 9 year old, I got diagnosed 1 year after having her, never got gestational diabetes in pregnancy either. Me and my partner are wanting to extend our family and have been to see the DPN nurse at hospital to see what i need to so to move forward, my last reading was 5.6. I am currently on meteoric 2 tablets morning and night, high blood pressure tablet shes changed thus to lebethol I think that's how you spell it I take 1 on morning 1 on night which is supposed to be best 1 for prw pregnancy and during, I was also on ozmpic ( unsure how to spell) injection once a week, ive been taken off that, shes given me a blood testing kit and has asked I take every morning before I eat, im currently getting readings between 6.1 and highest 8.1 ive only been doing it 4 days, she also said I will have to go on insulin injections from trying to conceive to all through pregnancy. Which is frightening me tbh. Just wondering if anyone else is or has been in same situation that can offer advice I feel so reluctant to do insulin as my sugar levels normally are in range, but she said its just while id be trying and during then I'd come off it.
I struggle with food, never really understood numbers etc not been educated well from when first diagnosed. But now I'm testing everyday and the thought of insulin its scaring me and now I'm not sure what to eat what not to eat
any advice will be greatly received.
Sorry for long winded post
