Anyone else diagnosed around 12 weeks with no prior history of diabetes or blood sugar issues?

Please don’t worry hun, gestational is completely different to type 1 or 2. It’s the hormones that is produced that causes the sugar levels. 2 aspirin is great and really helps the blood flow get to the baby.

Gestational diabetes co U.K. is an amazing website and will answer your questions there’s also a fb group and highly recommend xx

I was diagnosed at 25 weeks with my daughter, cleared entirely a few weeks postpartum. When I got pregnant again I was tested immediately and already had it at 5 weeks also needed insulin. Everyone body is different and it's a response to your placenta. I cannot speak to pre-existing diabetes treatment but I'm fairly sure that they're treated the exact same way unless you have type 1. You'll take your blood sugars if they remain out of range you will go on medication. I often have more low numbers than high numbers but my fasting sugars are always out of range so I take bedtime insulin. I've had ultrasounds every 4 weeks throughout my entire pregnancy to confirm that growth is going well and that I placenta is strong as diabetes can age the placenta prematurely. Once you get the hang of it it's not as bad as the world makes it seem best of luck
