I'm not real helpful either, sorry.

I was diagnosted quite early so I've had it diet controlled since then.
At first I had to see my OB and Diabetes educator quite frequently, but now I see my OB every 3 or 4 weeks, but I haven't had to see my educator for a couple of months cause my diet control is going really well.
I do the self testing finger pr!cking at least 2 times a day.

WOW. Your appointments seem to go forever and all that waiting for results and doctors. You poor thing.
Good luck with the moving and settling in.
