I've been thinking of you all as well. Hopefully you are all managing your GD ok and not letting it get you down.
I was meant to go for my post birth GTT at 6 - 8 wks. Lara is now 9 wks and I still haven't been. I didn't want to go before xmas in case I was told my GD hadn't gone away. I am a nervous wreck and dont want to go. I am so scared it wont have gone away. I know I need to go so I am going to book myself in for the test either next week or the week after. My family is still here and don't go back until next week so think I'll wait until they've gone. Excuses, excuses I know. My DH keeps telling me I will be fine coz I managed my GD with diet alone but it I'm not confident. I've been really thirsty lately and I am scared its coz of diabetes, although I do live in Far North Qld and the temp is like 34 degrees everyday.
Sorry for my vent girls. Hope you all had a great xmas and have a happy new year!!!
Leigh don't stress possum. Ethans 5 months old and I still haven't been! Naughty I know but I'm worried too, but shouldn't be. I have checked my levels at home a number of times and they are all fine (even after a huge potato chip and choccie binge!), so should be ok, but what if?...
I guess the dr will smack my hand when I go for Ethans 6 month check up lol
Becci - I've checked my levels at home too quite a few times and all have been fine as well. I am just so scared they are going to tell me that I do have diabetes. God I hated having it when I was pregnant, I can't imagine living the rest of my life with it. Good luck for when you go for your test and please pop in and let me know!!!
yeah I'm in the same boat re not wanting to do the test, plus no-one has referred me for the test... even though I had my obs check-up at 6 weeks. So I've just checked some BSL's after a pizza and full-strength coke drink and it was fine. Plus, I wasn't even diagnosed off the GTT anyway, I was diagnosed off high BSL's (cos I vomited in the GTT and stuffed it up).. so really I figure that BSL's pretty much tells you what you need to know anyway... still, be interested to hear how you all go.
I need to lose some weight to reduce my diabetes risk.. was just looking at Xmas piccies... eeep I figure I'll pretend I've got diabetes for a month or two to lose weight - eating healthy should do it, and it reminds me that if a month or two is hard, imagine the rest of my life!!! Good incentive.
