My OB did tell me the second time around that since we were starting so early in pregnancy that there would be the possibility of having to change my meds as I progressed. So it seems like it's fairly common, just wasn't my deal.</p> <p>I hope you get answers and are better controlled soon. And I agree that was a low reading. It seems strange that it's getting so low, but maybe your diet is better managed than you thought, that would be great news :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gd-meds-and-issues#post-2159394 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 10:03:16 +0000 autumnlove 2159394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take Metformin and glyburide to manage my GD and follow a diet set by my Dr/dietician and things have been good with acceptable blood sugar readings. (I started the meds in early January.)</p> <p>I am now 22 weeks and I've had fainting and dizziness issues since Sunday. I called the L&amp;D line on Sunday and they told me to call back Monday. I called yesterday and they asked me to test my blood sugar one hour after my next meal. I tested after lunch and it was 83...def low. They haven't called me back yet so I will follow up this morning.</p> <p>Did you have to switch up or drop your meds at any point in your pregnancy? </p>
