Welcome Gill, sorry to hear about your GD diagnosis. I am only new around here too, not quite 3 weeks and still trying to get my head around things. Can I ask what your levels were in the first week or so after your diagnosis. I have a feeling I might be heading towards being on insulin as well as mine have been a bit all over the place as well. How did your appt go?
Welcome to syran and NikW too. A couple of early birds like me I was diagnosed at 17w.
Since I am still trying to figure things out, I'm not sure how serious my GD educator is going to treat my situation. I was doing really well for the first 1.5 wks. I lost 2kgs, my levels were good, but it all seems to have gone belly up since Thursday. I have being eating the same things but I have had a 9.8, 8.4, 8.9, 8.1 and 7.6. My fasting levels have been between 5.7-6.4. I guess the only thing that changed a little was exercise. Given the wild wet and windy weather, I was doing less walking and I finished up at my job last week as well so possibly was under a bit more stress than usual.
I called my DE this morning and she wants to see me this afternoon. Do you think I am likely to be put on insulin with levels like these over a few days?
