Gestational Diabetes

Awe dear. I’m so sorry.

I had a borderline result with my first, they treated it as GD, it was diet controlled the whole way, didn’t add any extra stress for me, just a couple more meetings with the GD nurse to go through the results.
You’re given this little tester to do 4 readings a day and it syncs with their team so you come in and talk trough it every few weeks

I’ve got it and I’m struggling also. Completely changed my diet, switched to wholemeal, smaller portions, more protein and veg yet I’m still getting high readings. It is so defeating! Hope you’re ok xxx

I’m so sorry, I can imagine it’s very frustrating to be doing what you can and not getting the results you want. Have they mentioned trying tablets/injections instead to you?

I have a consultant appointment on Tuesday and they’re going to see what the best next steps are - I was hoping not to have to go on medication because that’s means I’ll have to be induced earlier, around 37-38 weeks. How about you? X

Hey, this is my second pregnancy I tested positive for GD at 16 weeks also tested positive at 13weeks first pregnancy, I was terrified on my first as I didn’t know what to expect but honestly there is so much support you will be absolutely fine, feel free to message me if you have an questions☺️ hope everything goes well xxx

Honestly you will be ok hun I have it too in this pregnancy n last pregnancy this time round I have had the libra put on my arm coz I refuse to do the finger testing I don't like it it's much easier to test with

I’ve got a GD education session booked for Wednesday at my hospital and then will get a monitor so can start testing from then. Hopefully I can manage through diet, but we will see how it goes and what they say.

I joined last I got tested twice and they said i didn't have it..I got told in my third trimester weeks before he was born
