Hi there

Anyone out there been diagnosed with gestational diabetes?

I had my first Glucose tolerance test and it came back that I had slightly high blood sugar levels. I now need to go and have a second test.

Just wondering what the chances are that I will be diagnosed with having gestational diabetes, has anyone had a high reading the first time and ok the second?

I am trying to improve my diet but don't really know where to start except cut out obvious sugar foods. Any suggestions from those in the know?

Alos I'd like to hear of any stories of complications for mother and/or baby. I know the baby could be born big making labour difficult and causing added delivery problems for baby but have also read about babies being born with low blood sugar levels and being at higher risk of obesity later in life.

Any info you might have would be appreciated.
