Hi All. I wrote a bit of a first time rant, but I took to long to post it and it was lost

Anyway, Hi. I've been reading this thread for a little bit. A week ago I had my GCT, and then got the call saying I needed to follow-up with a GTT. From my reading on-line (and my knowledge by being a medical scientist) I knew that there was a good chance I had GD. By getting a high reading on the GCT I knew there was a high chance I was not one of those lucky people who come up negative in the GTT. And I was right. My fasting was 5.2, which my doc was fine with, but my 2 hr was 11.2! So now I wait to see the Diabetics Educator at the Angliss and go through the process of obtaining readings and trying to control my numbers with my diet. My doc's quietly indicated there is a chance I'll go on insulin. The way she said it and the context of the conversation - I think she thinks I definately will. She wants my levels to be under 7 (she told me the educator would expect more, but that my doc was fine with <7). The question I have, is with such a high BSL as 11.2 in the GTT, am I going to be able to get it below 7 through diet alone? I'm not optimistic.

I realise some women on here really want to carry their baby to term, but I actually like the idea of it coming a little earlier (if need be). I might only be 29 weeks, but I already just feel so uncomfortable (first pregnancy!!). The thought of it being 8 or 9 weeks away instead of 11 or 12 feels more bearable.

I guess I will find out more on Monday followed by the BSL monitoring. Fun times ahead!
