Shell - I was told by dietician that the baby potatoes are the best ones to eat because they have a different kind of starch to those big fluffy creamy baked potatos ... yum

Andie - Let us know how the natural therapies go. I've been on insulin since 7 weeks so it's been all about diet control for me. The midwife told me that when I go into labour, either induce or natural, I go off all insulin. They do test throughout labour and if you need it they will give you and insulin drip. She said because you're not eating you usually don't need it.

I was diagnosed at King Eddies in Perth (major maternity hospital) so each time I have an appointment I have to go to the diabetes clinic and see the ob, diabetes educator/midwife, diabetes dr, dietician. Might be different for you depending on the type of care you've chosen.
