Hi HJ, sorry you have been told you have GD, I was told last week. Had my Diabetes education class a couple of days ago and started monitoring my BSL's yesterday. I was pretty stressed about it all last week, but have started getting my head around it all. I actually thought that checking your BSL was going to hurt, but it doesnt. You just need to alternate fingers.
I have to admit this pregnancy has even given me thyroid probs, so I am also on meds for that. Out of all of my pgcy's this is the only one that I have had thyroid probs and the same with GD. So really feel like my body is letting me down too, even more so since needing to be on aspirin as well.
I must admit I think it has actually motivated me into watching more closely what I am eating and not giving into those cravings as much, yet it is day 2 for me.
You have my number hun, if you want someone to chat too who is going through the same just call. Also I have subscribed to the GD thread, hope to see you in there so we both have that extra support. Hang in there hun. Hugs
