Hello doctor,

I am seven months pregnant and this is my first pregnancy. Last week I was diagnosed to have diabetes. Now the doctor has advised me to take insulin. Whether I can take medicines instead of insulin injections.

Diabetes detected first time during pregnancy is called as Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). Now a days GDM is quite common in our population, due to family history of diabetes, stressful life, sedentary lifestyle and altered food habits. GDM most commonly diagnosed in the sixth or seventh months of pregnancy. Baseline of GDM management is on diet plan which includes quality, quantity and timing of food. The regular diabetes diet plan does not applicable in diabetes during pregnancy, since growing foetus needs adequate calories and nutritious diet. Insulin is prescribed to control diabetes during pregnancy. Insulin does not cross the placenta and does not have any effect the foetus. But oral diabetes drugs can cross the placenta and may cause problems to the foetus. Remember that blood sugar has to be kept under strict control. Fasting blood sugar level should be less than 100 mgs/dl and 2hour post prandial level less than 120 mgs/dl. Strict blood sugar control is needed to avoid abnormalities of the foetus and complications during delivery. Blood sugar has to be monitored weekly to maintain a strict diabetes control.
