Hello everyone..... I'm kinda newish here, have been lurking for a while, but haven't posted though I've been a member for a while now........ Anyways, I've also been diagnosed with GD and would just like to say that you girls seem to be wonderfully supportive, so I hope you don't mind if I join you in here..... I am 33 weeks + 4 days pregnant, was diagnosed at around 30 weeks I think, can't really remember.....Still haven't been to see the dietitian or the diabetic educator, as they don't work school holidays
so yeah...... Luckily I'm a nurse and there's another DE that works on the ward that I did and she gave me a small amount of info (she doesn't do GD apparently
) and a glucometer...... I've been really lucky with my BSL's generally 4.4 fasting and about 5.9 after food..... I was told to keep it under 5.5 fasting and 7 after food....... Now that I'm on maternity leave it has been much easier with my food intake..... no temptation to go down to the kiosk!!!!!
Anyway sorry for the long post
hoping to get to know you all better in the near future.....
