Hi
I'm new to the forum, just joined and this thread stood out first to me because I had GD. I had my little girl 5 weeks ago.

My GD showed up at the normal testing at 26 weeks, I tried the control diet first and did the finger pri-ck test 4 times a day. After a couple of weeks they werent happy with them so I had to go on insulin injections twice a day then in the last couple of weeks it went to 3 injections a day (before each meal). It is a very small percentage that go to injections, so dont even dwell on that as it is very far from a fact for you at this time.

Heres just a couple of tips for you,
*try 'Bakers Delight' 'high fibre-low GI' bread, that seemed safe for me to eat through it all as I'm not a fan of wholemeal etc.

*if you have to go to injections, know that it IS okay to inject in your thigh. I had the doctors push me to inject in the stomach, there was NO WAY I was comfortable with that and injecting in the thigh got the results that were needed.

*If you get upset, worried or stressed about it all, talk to someone, whether that be a doctor, friend or family member. I got upset a few times wondering 'why me'.

The GD has gone, I tested for a whole day at the hospital, 2 days after I had my daughter, but I still need to go and do the glucose drink test at the hospital near the end of this month which will confirm if it has completely gone.

hope all is going smoothly....
