Hi Andie,

I have never heard of the intravenous drip for births of mums with GD..... That is news to me..... Just speak to your ob about that because I am pretty sure it will be right. I suppose it depends on person by person.....

I found it hard at first to get used to the bsl's as well, hard to stay under 7.0 at first.... Then you eventually figure out what foods send you over the limit. Rice noodles is a definite no no for me, always end up with mid to late 7s if I have it. I have been told to stay below 6.9 otherwise I will need to start up on insulin. I am now almost 35 weeks pregnant so trying to avoid insulin if I can..... I am seeing my diabetes doctor this week. Have you been referred to a diabetes doctor as yet? or just the educator?

I haven't seen a naturopath or anything re: GD.....
