Hi Indie, thought I would do a seperate thread after your reply to my hossie thread,
Saw a diabetic dietician on Monday and have the kit to measure blood sugars but am not on insulin how high have your sugars been? Mine have been 8 - 8.5 so not massively high
Fundal measurements have been about right for dates I had a growth scan at 28 weeks due to high BP and he was measuring 2 weeks ahead on all measurements now 5 weeks later by the scan measurements he s measuring 3 weeks ahead on most and 4 weeks on head circumference
I have only put on 1 kg so far during the pregnancy but I was overweight to start with and don't really have any typical diabetic signs like increased thirst, more trips to the loo, apart from excessive tiredness but then I am disabled with a chronic illness which causes fatigue so who knows what that is down to
One thing I did get out of the dr is that if the high blood sugars aren't controlled then baby produces more insulin to deal with them then when he is born he still has loads of insulin but not the high sugar. This means he is effectively born with low blood sugar so being on insulin stops that happening.
If I find out anything I will let you know please do the same maybe between us we can figure it all out
