i have it, but i don't have to take insulin. if it gets too out of whack i take these little pills but pricking my finger after every meal gets a little old. mine is pretty much controlled by watching what i eat, carbs are the enemy, they turn into sugar, but you need some. im allowed 30grams of carbs in the morning and like 60 in the evenings. at post-partum check up i always test normal. yes it can lead to big babies and excess fluid.
