I do have years of experience with Type 2 diabetes which is a similar condition. Your numbers are extremely high but not enough to make you comatose. Dis your doctor give you any medication? BJ

You'd feel pretty bad though. HOWEVER if your BGs stay in the 200 or higher range for too long you WILL endanger your baby and yourself. pregnant diabetics regardless of what type of diabetes, type 1, type 2 or gestational are all in the high risk pregnancy group and need to be treated by doctors who specialize in high risk diabetic pregnancies. I tacked on the other 2 newsgroups incase any of the women with experience missed this post in the originating newsgroup. There are plenty of them around to help you. also check out www.diabeticmommy.com and www.childrenwithdiabetes.org if your current doctor does not take an aggressive stance about tight BG control from day 1, fire the quack and get a qualified doctor asap.
