Hi! I developed gestational diabetes at 19 weeks and was put on insulin. I also developed high blood pressure at the same time! (I was 42).

The GD meant:
Blood Sugar Level tests - at every meal, 2 hours after and before bed
Insulin injections - at every meal and a different type before bed
Food regularly - the lower GI the better
Doctors frowning about everything at every visit
A special team of doctors in the operating theatre expecting a large baby with undeveloped lungs

I was hooked up to insulin in the morning, had a caesarian and tested a little later and the GD vanished the second i had my beautiful healthy normal daughter - 6lb10! Praise God!

What was really good was - no more BSL tests, no more insulin and no more eating every 2 hours!!!! The disappearance of GD meant i no longer had to remember to do about 14 things a day!

Hope this helps, JT
