Thanks KimB - nervous about tests tomorrow (mostly because I hate needles, and also am allergic to the glucose drink, so have to take antihistamines to balance it, which I'm not keen on).
I guess the upside is if I do have GD, from what I've read I won't be allowed to go past my due date? So at least then I don't have to worry about the possibility of going up to 10 days late...given I was 3 weeks late when I was born (back before the 10 day limit!) I think the waiting would drive me mad.
I also see it as a good chance to shake up my diet, which is not always the greatest, so then the hard work to shift weight after bubs is born hopefully won't be so difficult.
Thanks KimB,
I actually rang my Auntie last night who has been a diabetic nurse educator for about 15 years and she put my mind heaps to rest. She said the number they most worry about is the fasting one being high first thing in the am and only worry about high numbers if you can't find a reason.......ie I ate chocolate cake for dinner LOL.
I have been having errors with the monitor and she told me to re-test if things seem odd.
Feeling a whole lot better.
What are the chances of me not being able to control this with diet?
Thanks
Kate
