hi ladies...

mostly, :yeahthat: just go with what Belinda said , reading the old posts is really helpful, and there's lots of people here to answer questions or just listen to a vent!

I'm also in the "already had baby" group too (can't believe your DD is nearly 5 m.o. Belinda!). I was diagnosed about 29 weeks too, and put on insulin about 3 weeks later. My insulin never went THAT high, starting on 8 units, and topping out at 18 units just before birth (once a day only). I'm also wheat-free and can't eat various other items, so eating low GI was a very interesting journey indeed. Baked beans were a guaranteed high BSL for me (weird huh!), but rye sour dough breads worked well. I also found I could sneak a few treats towards the end as well (or maybe I just became more relaxed! I found I totally stopped putting on weight, but didn't lose any (so only gained 5.5kg total during the PG which was kinda a bonus!

I was induced at 39+1 day, so happy to answer any questions about induction, you're welcome to PM me or ask here. And I'm also one of those wussy ones who hasn't done her GTT yet! But absolutely no-one, I mean no-one has told me to do it either! Guess I am a big girl and could organise it myself....

Anyway, good luck with it all, hope you're all going well - and for those freshly diagnosed, it DOES get easier. Give yourself time to have a whinge and wail and you'll feel a bit better in time.

Cheers,
Belfie
