Effects of dexamethasone while having GDM

Question

Meron rin po bang naka experience dito na tumaas ang blood sugar dahil sa dexamethasone (4 doses everh 12 hrs po ako)? Diet controlled po ako and di tumataas ang blood sugar pero nung tinurukan ako, umaabot nako ng 179 mg/dl after 1 hr pagkatapos kumain. Nabawasan din ang galaw ng baby though nabanggit naman sakin na normal ang mga to, nakakaparanoid lang talaga. #dexamethasone

Ay alam ko yan, sobrang nakakastress ang dexamethasone especially pag may GDM ka na talaga! Hindi ka nag-iisa, maraming nanay dito nag-report na tumaas ang blood sugar nila after the shots kasi corticosteroid talaga yan at alam nating blood sugar raiser. The reduced baby movements can be scary, pero since your doctor already reassured you na normal, that's actually a good sign na they're monitoring closely, pero if it makes you feel better, always okay lang mag-follow up with them if the numbers keep climbing or movements change more. Just keep doing what you're doing with your diet control, stay hydrated, at don't hesitate to message your OB kung talagang worried ka, kaya mo yan mama!

Sobrang nakakaparanoid nga po though Im glad na umok na ang blood sugar ko after the last shot. Di na sya nagspike and magalaw na ulit si baby. Nakakakaba lang talaga lalo na po 1st baby pero thank God, ok ang lahat ❤️
