Gestational Diabetes General Chatter #4

Hi Becci.
Sorry to hear you have GD.
What was the max level you're allowed for the fasting one?

Good luck with the appointments this week.
I hope everything goes well, and you get lotsa helpful information.
It is alot of information to take in all at once, but once you get used to it and know what foods work well for you, it gets easier.

We're for you and we'll try and answer any questions you may have too

Uh. So I've had an interesting weekend... I'm a private person so I don't share that I have diabetes with people, so I just do my own thing, yeah sort of hiding it.. but it's my own choice.
I did ok with the inlaws here this weekend, considering they eat all that nice food and bread from the bakery alot.
I did have a bit of a meltdown in private with just my DP, and I took it out on him alot cause I really need him to help me stay strong alot of the time. + Hormones too.
But anyways, it's all good.

Hope you all had a great weekend.
xx

Thanks Tenny. The max I was allowed was 5 so I wasn't too much over, but I guess every little bit counts.

You were only just over, and were under the allowed 8.
Hopefully that means you'll be able to keep it all diet controlled easier and no insulin, cause it was only just over.
Even though they give you time to try and control it by diet firstly anyways.

Fingers crossed!!
