On a side note I was speaking to a teacher at DD's kindy this afternoon and she told me that her sister has had GDM with the last 3 or her 5 pregnancies. Apparently baby # 3 was born weighting 14 pounds! (and born vaginally) mg: And her 4th and 5th were both born at about 33 weeks and already weighed 7 pounds. Holy dooly . . .
If it's any consolation, with GD these days usually because it's picked up & monitored well - there's not the same issue with huge babies. I know most of us in here who've had it with previous pregnancies have had perfectly normal size bubbas. My fella was 7lb 7oz at 39 weeks - so nothing too drastic at all!

Also, regarding insulin different places seem to do it slightly differently go figure huh. I know with mine that I got told once I'd had more than 3 readings over 7.5 or 8 (I can't remember exactly sorry). My endo said it didn't matter so much the three readings but it was also the general trend... everything was going higher and higher. And sometimes no matter how well you eat, it's the hormones & placenta doing the nasty on those readings. Soooo frustrating when you get different reads off the same foods.

GL to you both, I think you're both doing a fabbo job and I know how annoying it is!!!
