“I also didn’t wish to see my own child developing diabetes due to my history,” said Lee, who lives in Penang. She said she was introduced to an insulin pump, and although costly, it helped her control her blood glucose better. Lee recalled that it was challenging keeping her blood glucose levels normal due to continuous hormonal changes throughout her pregnancy. Her motto: Stay cheerful, have a balanced diet, do some exercise and take control of your blood glucose. Ooi said that she normally has her breakfast at home as she could better control her blood sugar level.
