    Seachange - that is an extra-special bundle you have onboard there, I can see why there's a few considerations. GL with working out what will be best for you and getting the VB you want. I would recommend checking if they'll be putting induction on the cards due to insulin - as Becci said, it becomes quite standard. And obviously induction takes you down that intervention path anyway, but being prepared does help - I found that working with my doula to prepare for the induction was very empowering for me - making the best decisions for me and bubs while still incorporating medical considerations.

    Hope the insulin is not still making you feeling yucky. Has it settled down now?

    Hi all,

    I too have been diagnosed with GD but i was wondering could my levels been effected because i was stressed?
    My fasting level was 4.0,
    1 hour 7.2
    2 hours 8.9 (at peak of stress here)

    should i ask to be re tested?
